Hi,

If you are interest only and go for an IVA then I think you would be expected to remain on that for the duration of the IVA as it will free up more money for the creditors.

Would you be able to afford to revert to a repayment mortgage and make ongoing monthly payments to creditors? If so you should perhaps consider changing back to repayment, but if you enter into an IVA on the basis of an interest only mortgage it is unlikely that creditors will support a change post-IVA.
