I've had an IVA for 5 years now and it was due to end on the 1st May 2010. But i recived a letter from payplan saying due to the intrest i have to extend my payments for another 6 months. As it was a saturday i was unable to ring them so i have to wait until tomorrow. I was hoping this was the end of it all and i could start saving the money i was paying to try and get on the property ladder by the end or begining of next year. Can you tell me if youve heard of this situation before?
It may be that it is statutory interest owed to the IP for the IVA. I know it isn't usually paid now, but it was on older ones.
It won't be interest on the debts.

I'm only making an assumption, as I know statutory interest used to be charged.
Hopefully one of the experts will be along with advice.

A good IP would have alerted you to this at a much earlier stage, and I am suprised that they have only informed you of this at the last minute - however the proposal would have had to provide for interest. I am assuming that you will be repaying your debts in full?
Im so sorry to here about this & have no idea. How very upsetting to feel as though your at the end n then to be informed you have another 6 months to go. I hope you get an answer n please let us know how you get on.

I will be ringing them up first thing tomorrow to find out why I'm paying for another 6 months. My debt was £25k and with the amount I could afford to pay back it was agreed I would pay £200 p/m over 5 years. Everything has been going fine until I opened my letter on Saturday. How i'm I to know if in 6 months they expect me to pay for another 6 months?
Is there anything in your proposal/chairmans report which mentions anything about extending?

Not that I can remember but I've never kept them which is stupid and I'm regretting it now. I'll put the full letter on here later on so you can see what it says. I'm really not happy about this especially as the letter was dated 29th April and my payments come out on the 1st of ever month and I revived the letter on the 1st may. I hope nobody else has the same problems as me when your agreements are about to end.
Must admit that I haven't come across this on the forum before. I hope you get some answers tomorrow. Let us know what happens.

I think you need to speak to Payplan first before doing anything else. See what they say.

I know with our IVA we are paying 201 a month over 5 years for debts just short of 15000. Our modifications were that the iva could be extended up to 3 months to help recover costs, as our IVA company had to reduce there costs for the IVA to be accepted. I still don't know if they will n our last payment date is march/april 2013 on our direct debit agreement form.
Hope you get some answers n i think you should give them a ring in the morning. Good Luck.

Ours will probably be extended by twelve months, but that will be because we are unable to remortgage. I'm expecting it, so not too bothered.
