Hi any advice would be appreciated.

I currently have £6,400 left to pay into my iva, with 27 months left. Paying £240 each month. I have just found out i am pregnant, due in july 18. I currently live at home with my parents but i Now have to move out and me and my boyfriend have to find a place of our own. Therefore my dad has offered to pay £3,000 as a gift to end my iva early so i wont have the stress of my iva whilst pregnant, and as i will need as much money as i can for the baby, i will also be paying for the costs of a house, rent, bills, etc. I have informed my iva company who are saying they wont put the offer to my creditors as they will only accept the full £6,400 and £3,000 is to low. Is there anything i can do, as i have read lots of stories online where people have been accepted for offers they put in. They are not very helpful, they always say they will phone me back but never do. I am so worried that my iva is going to fail as i wont be able to pay anything in a couple of months when we find a house to rent and when our baby is born as all of our wages will be used to pay rent, bills etc.

Your IP is wrong. They have a duty to write to creditors within 21 days of receiving any variation request from you.

It is not for them to decide what creditors will and won't accept, although they can of course recommend to creditors and give their opinion.

You might be better placed to wait until you have moved so you can should your revised available monthly surplus and potential reduced future contributions to convince creditors that £3k will be an attractive offer.

I suggest you politely point out the variation terms in your IVA to your IP and that you understanding is that creditors decide on whether to accept, not the Supervisor...

Sounds like you are with CF -- but I could be wrong ! If you are you will be denied direct contact with your IP -- but I would suggest writing to him or her, direct, by recorded delivery (keeping copies) making the offer and explaining the circumstances. As Lisa says whoever took your call is wrong.
