I have around £57k debt some on cards and some as loans.
My concern is that a coulpe of the loans were taken out quite recently.
One for (aa)£10,000 about this time last year, and one (mbna)for about the same amount in sept 2006.
Not sure how this would look, At the time I thought that it was ok and that I could manage and never even heard about iva's let alone wanted one.

Proposing iva next week with an offer on £15,000 one off payment + fees.
Your thoughts ?

Hi Simon

Well I don't suppose the creditors will be too happy, but they take a commercial risk every time they lend on an unsecured basis, so the decision they will have to make should be based upon receiving a greater settlement than would be available in bankruptcy.

Do you have any disposable income? And can I ask what has happened since Sept 06 when you thought able to take on and service an additional lending on top of all of your other commitments?

Since sept 06 I lost a couple of major clients which resulted in my company going into liquidation. I have now set up again but my income from my new business will be less than before.
Not sure what my dosposible income will be , my monthly outgoings will be around £3600 when the IVA commences So I will need to pay my self that plus tax/NI So probably not much disposable at all.
I am looking to put forward a a lump some final settlement option 25p in pound because my earnings are not consistant. Ie I can only pay myself when clients pay me and this can cause problems.
