It is normal to be nervous but I'm sure you will be ok.

You will have to wait and see if there are any modifications.

Domesday was a momentous time, but it all worked out in the end (sort of) . Try not to dwell, it will be nerve wracking, but there is nothing you can do, now, but wait. Everything that can be done, has been done.

If any creditors vote to fail and get the majority, what can be done depends on their reasons to fail. Sometimes things can be changed by altering expenses, increasing the payment or extending the term.

Best of luck for tomorrow.

They were both amongst my larger creditors, 9k on both I think. I don't recall any amendments from them that affected me, the only modifications requested on mine were around maximum fees and the banks had used standard replies as my IP pointed out the fees they charged were already lower. My IP had got it at 76% agreeing and the last percentage was from MBNA which had something a bit different requested. The UP asked me to refuse to modify, it kept my votes at 76% and meant one tweak to their fees wasn't needed. At the time I was a bit oblivious to the meaning of it all, I just wanted the stress to go away and now 2 and half years later, I still feel its the best move I ever made. My only regret was struggling for a year taking on extra hours to try and make ends meet. Fingers crossed for today. My call was also 10am on a Friday morning :)

Good luck with today. A 32p/£ dividend is healthy. Take heart. My proposal was accepted at 16p/£. Yes the anxiety was almost overwhelming but there is nothing more you can do now until you get the call/email.

Well after an anxious mornings wait im pleased to advise my iva has been accepted ! Phew vanguard have been so good so far .Slight modification they wanted proof of my energy bill payments and try to get a cheaper deal but im only paying 69.00 per month roughley anyway and as vanguard said thats low anyway maybe they have to show they are doing something .As I pay my energy payments through my landlady then this should not pose a big problem just relieved it is sorted.Now to start down the iva 5 year journey .At least im legally protected iv just set up my first payment to vanguard starting next friday thanks everyone !
:D

Yes its a great relief il not have to put in as many hours overtime now just to pay off my debts they have said to expect creditors chasing roughley for the next 3 to six weeks but to forward any legal letters I may receive immediatley .Vanguard have said there will be minimal contact from them apart from the annual review but will be there in the background if I run into any problems iv been happy with there service so far . :lol:
