I would think it would depend on the ammount, how recent and who the loan was from.

It is certainly not an ideal scenario, but it shouldn't deter you from speaking to a specialist directly, you can go to www.iva.com and pick 2 or 3 from there to speak to.

I recently was asked to look at a case where out of £70k of unsecured credit, £40k has been taken out over the last month in two consolidation loans with no repayments having been made. I asked the lenders involved whether they would be prepared to consider an IVA, but they declined preferring a DMP initially.
