Hi markss and welcome to the forum
The only way you can stop creditors from taking legal action against you whilst an IVA is in progress is to apply to Court for an Interim Order. These are quite rare these days, and are only really necessary to defend against bankruptcy, attachment of earnings or charging orders.
Follow the advice of your IP with regard to ongoing payments - the reality is little difference whether you do pay or don't.
