we are in the 4 year of our IVA and we have to try to increase out mortage for £10k,and our mortage company will not lend us any more.
One of our creditors has now requested that we now go down the bankruptcy route, can they do this ?

Its highly unlikely that you will be made bankrupt.
If you cant raise the funds for remortgage then a meeting of creditors would probably be called and either your IVA will be extended for a further year or it will conclude.

Check in your original chairmans report and see what exactly it says with regards to the final year remortgage.
Failing that, have a chat with your IP who should be able to put your mind at rest.

Well they can ask! But you can say no. And if they really want you to go bankrupt they can bear the costs themselves and petition as a creditor.
