If the IVA fails and cannot be accepted are you forced down bankrupcy route or can you struggle on - also do you have to pay IP fees if this is the case?

Hi Ruthie

Welcome to the forum.
In most cases (but not in all), If the IVA fails the most likely route to be taken will be bankruptcy.
And again in 99% cases the IP fees will cease.

Hope this helps and if you ave any further questions or require any further advice please ask.

If an IVA fails, you the debtor will be faced with various choices:-

1 Could you offer a variation to creditors based upon your changed circumstances.
2 Should you enter bankruptcy (I have answered this for you in an earlier post)
3 Should you let the IVA be concluded and wait and see what happens. Creditors may simply leave you alone and write off the debts anyway.
4 Should you enter into a debt management plan.

So the answer to your question is that you are not necessarily forced into bankruptcy, and once an IVA is concluded no more fees are chargeable, although the Supervisor can pursue you for any fees which have been incurred by not paid. He/she can also stand as a creditor in any subsequent bankruptcy.
