Hi cm5 and welcome to the forum
I assume that you are stuggling to make your creditor repayments and are therefore looking at all of the options available to you - not only in an IVA, but also debt management and bankruptcy.
If this is the case, you will have many, many questions, and should therefore consult an insolvency practitioner who can give your advice on the advantages and disadvantages of all procedures. Please continue to use the forum for back up, and sharing ideas.
Regards, Melanie Giles, Insolvency Practitioner for over 20 years.
