Hi,

If your IVA fails then you can either revert to a debt management plan, negotiate with your creditors yourself or go bankrupt.

Hi, if your IVA were to fail, your creditors would start to contact you again and you could enter into a DMP or declare Bankruptcy, or just continue to pay your creditors again if you found you could?

Is your IVA at risk of failing? Talk to your IP as there is almost always a solution. x

I've often wondered about this myself. If you were half way through an IVA wouldn't you only be left with half the debt? (maybe some charges on top)

Unfortunately not.

You may have paid some towards your debt, but it won't be a lot. As soon as it fails you will be back to square one with charges and interest being added on.

You will always owe the total amount of your debt until the IVA is completed.

Unfortunately the fees of an IVA are usually quite high halfway through, as the IP pays the Nominee's fee first. He will usually pay some kind of dividend to your creditors, but they will also calculate interest and charges from the start of the IVA and you may well be in a similar or worse position than when you started.
Take care,
