You cannot overpay the agreed monthly amounts as such payments will just be added to the dividend as a bonus for the creditors. To end an IVA early you need to make a one off lump sum payment, based upon the amount left to pay over the term.
If your IP gets wind that you could afford to overpay, were it possible, he / she would increase your monthly payments into the IVA, as you are supposed to be paying what you can afford.

Thanks for reply
Another question - if I wanted to break from my Iva and pay my creditors individually is this possible? My circumstances have changed so feel able to manage the debt independently now - am I locked in?
You can terminate the IVA, or simply allow it to fail. However, the creditors are not obliged to co-operate with any proposals you might then make and could just go for enforcement of collection. It is a risky manouvre.
Even if the IVA ends early, one way or another, your credit record will still be shot for six years from the start of the arrangement.

It sounds like lump sum is the way forward then. Thanks for your advise - I’ve been trying to get simple answers like this from my Iva people for months !
