I am now in the final year of my iva - I have been told that
my original debt of 15145 that I would have to pay 89% of my total
half of my equity on my home and although this has been requested by
my creditors I have to pay my husbands creditors as well - on top of
this are the fees of over 5K - to me I will not be debt free in 5
years - I will lose 89% of my equity and then have to remortgage - I
am concerned and upset that I have not gone into this with my eyes
open and I will now have all the worry back again

Hi,
In an IVA you are suppose to pay back as much as you can afford. So even if you pay 100% back you have benefited from a cast iron debt relieve policy as compared with a DMP where you could be paying interest which could be the same as the IP fees???

I don't know if you were advised to do a DMP from day one but most IVA firms would have informed you about all options and then the best best to be taken.Hypothetically,even if you opted for a DMP creditors could have seeked charging orders on your property in effect taking a chunk of it which would caused indignation.

With the anticipated stagnation of future house prices I can see how the EQ you are paying out wouldn't be recouped throught the leap in house prices as in last 7 years.

I share you sentiments

"Always think outside the box"

I am sorry but I don't really understand the post? What is it that you are actually complaining about?
