Hi there, just an update, have been told various different routes to take, one was a blatant BR option without really giving an IVA a second thought.
I have now found someone who I have complete confidence in as does my wife, although she is not insolvent and therfore not looking into an IVA or BR but as a team we feel confident.
I intend to have my papers off and looked into asap, and obviously will keep you informed as to how it is going.....
Thanks once again

Wuffy, I'm in an IVA whereas my other half is not, as she wasn't/isn't insolvent - sounds similar to your situation. We combine our income and expenditure in our I&E to derive at the IVA payment and it works brilliantly.
Debt problems, what debt problems? I'm not in De Thames, I'm in De Nile.

I came into this world with nothing and still have most of it left!

Hi Wuffy

I'm a bit of a newcomer to all this, but I do know one thing....if Melanie says £450 is a good deal, then it must be!

Melanie is legendary in these parts!

Good luck with it all and let us know how you are getting along

Glad you've found a way to move forward, I wish you all the best.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

silly question (and not the best way to look at it) but if my IVA offer is rejected,that would mean I would have to look into BR in which case the creditors will get even less over a shorter period of time ????

If that is correct then I really dont understand why they would reject it, I am more than willing to pay just unfortunately I cannot repay the full amount...

OK I think Im just thinking about my very large debt again, I am sure it will be ok.

You don't have to do bankruptcy - you can think about doing a debt management plan. It can be a temporary one while you think about proposing an IVA again further down the line.

....and me....I'm getting scared again now....roll on Monday when I can go through it all with Mel and see what she thinks of the I/E as it stands at the moment.
7 year IVA completed in December 2016 - there is light at the end of that tunnel

try not to worry Cath (easier said than done) - Melanie is brilliant and what is more she lives in the real world. If anyone can help you she can and will

DMP is not an option for me, I guess I owe too much money so it counts that out.....
on the plus side feel a lot more positive today.

I'm glad you feel more postive today. I am sure that things will be ok.

You can contact more than one company whilst trying to sort out what you are going to do.

If you contact any of the experts on the forum you can be assured that the advice you receive will be impartial.
