Lisa try to stay positive, your IP wouldn't have taken your case on if they weren't confident of it's success.

What percentage of your debt is held by Blackhorse? If it's small enough then their decision to agree or not may be irrelevant.

Also it is unlikely that you have spoken with someone who has any say in whether your IVA is accepted or not. Most companies employ specific organisations to work on your behalf and these people are extremely unlikely to contact you themselves.

hi i have 19,500 debt, we owe to 13 creditors and owe BH approx 4700 so its quite a bit of what we owe is to them... just feels so helpless, thing that anoys me, was when we had prob we contacted every 1 to say so yet Bh kept ringing and demanding payment thay got us in more trouble as then wed not have enough for other companies robbing peter to pay paul, if they offered to reduce payment wen we asked for help thing may have not got as bad.... im so scaared now as 2 companies have threat court so if this dont happen we gona end up at court or worse lisa

Brave heart Lisa, the people that you are speaking to are specifically employed to "scare" / persuade money out of you. This is often done by threatening x,y and z.

Blackhorse are under 25% of your debt so in theory if everyone votes yes and Blackhorse vote no then your IVA is approved regardless. However, admittedly there are many potential permutations to the voting.

I would again emphasise that your IP would not undertake work on your case unless they were confident of it's success. Why not give your IP a call and run through your worries with them.

Try not to let these calls upset you as said above it is unlikely the one making the decision would ring, these call centres say things like this to push you into paying something as they are on commission a lot of the time, so try to relax and wait for the meeting, there is always a solution even if the meeting doesnt go well. Againa a lot of the time thre court thing is just to get you to pay it takes ages to do that and by then I am sure something would be sorted.
Hope this helps

Hi
As Oliver states BH do not have 25% of your debt so even if they say no you can still get your IVA agreed.The person you spoke to,in my opinion,will not have any input into your IVAs acceptance or not.
Leave it to your IP and do not engage in lengthy discussions with them,simply state your IPs details.
Hang in there Lisa,Black horse are very agreeable to IVAs.

lisa most of your creditors will threaten you with court and most of them will not take that action, these are threats as they know that they will make you scared, i never paid BH for 5 months and had all the threats under the sun even to charging orders on to my house, the thing is it costs them to take you to court and it doesn't happen over night they have to go through a process and it can take months before their case is presented to the judge, one thing if you are already making token payments and can;t afford more and the judge sees this he will throw it out of court for waste of time and may even tell you to pay less so don't fret on that score, all you can do now is sit back and await your creditors meeting and see what the outcome of that is, what is the worst that the creditors can do to you? nothing a ccj? you won't go to prison and you won't be flogged throught the streets, try and stay calm and let your IP deal with it that is what you are paying them to do, easier said than done, don't fall for any of their scare tactics and tell them to deal directly with your IP.

good luck i hope it goes through for you, anytime you need advice or a rant or just to see if any of us on here have had the same experience fire away thats what we are here for.
kerri

one other piece of advice i received in regards to BH and lloyds they very rarely ever take court action. and they certainly didn't with me in the last 8 months.

I had HSBC and MBNA as creditors and they both said they would vote against my proposal.

On the day of the creditors meeting suprise suprise neither of them bothered to vote and my IVA went through with a 100% yes vote!

Don't worry yourself over this - let your IP do their job. Fingers crossed for you.
