I take out an IVA two years a go. My debt was £16,089.00 not including the supervisor fee and nominee fee.
Within the two years my wages have increase and expenses decrease which allows me to increase my payment from £102 to £700 a month. When I pay £14,336.00 into my IVA, I called and emailed to find out my balances and how much more I have to pay off.
THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAVE £16,800.00 REMAINS TO PAY. My debt was £16,089.00, I have paid £14,336.00. OVERALL I WILL BE PAYING £31,136.00.
When I ask why do I have that remaining to pay when my debt was only £16,089.00 they said something about dividends and I will be paying my debtors more then the debts.
You always owe the full amount of original debt, plus fees and possible statutory interest. Only at the end is anything unpaid written off. If you reach this figure earlier then the IVA will close earlier.
On a £16k debt these figures would be roughly £1750 Nominees fee and £2400 to £3680 supervisors fee. And we will say £500 disbursements. Plus 8% p.a statutory interest ( not simple to work out as it is on the reducing balance, so we will go for the maximum) £ 2560 for the two years so far. So The maximum I would expect you to be paying would be £24,460.
I would ask them for a written, detailed, breakdown of the settlement figure they quoted. They could be charging fees on a different basis and this will be laid down in the Chairman's Report of the initial meeting.

Did should have been explained better at the start of the IVA, the operatives that we speak to initially should make it more clear that you are liable for interest and the full amount + fee's. I myself didn't know this and paid more than I expected. The IVA was the best thing I ever did, bringing me debt freedom that I would never have found if left to my own devices, having said that, I wouldn't sign up for another.

Let us hope that we never need to, Radish !

Your disposable income has increased so you will be expected to pay your creditor's more of your original debt back during the term of your iva - only when you have paid 100p in the £ back plys fees and possible statutory interest will your iva conclude, if prior to the end of your iva term.
