Afull and final offer is based on remaining payments. As you are a homewowner, it is customary to add in the 12 extra payments in lieu of equity release. I know you say you have no equity at the moment, but the creditors will be looking at whether there will be any at the end of the arrangement --- things change.

So, you have, let's say you are at the end of the first year ( some IVA's have a clause barring early payments in the first 6 months or first year). You will have 48 + 12 payments left ....So 60 x 330 = 19,800. Of course, if you can make the creditors accept that there will be no equity coming, you could try to knock off those 12 extra payments, meaning the offer would be based on £15,840 (48 x 330)

Bearing in mind that you would be saving everybody 4 or 5 years of messing about with dividends, you have room to reduce this a little ---- but, of course, the higher the offer the more chance it will be accepted. I have seen very low offers accepted, yet very high ones refused ! Were it my IVA, I would go in with around £15k, including those 12 months ( or £12k without the equity element --- which would be a harder sell).
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

I believe Foggy answered your question in a previous post, he reckoned about £15k or possibly slightly less.

Your IP will require a bank statement from your friend and a letter stating that the money is only available for a full and final offer and will not be available otherwise. You can just say that you want it out of the way and to start to rebuild your life debt free although, as Foggy says, your credit will be shot for the full six years. It will take a couple of months to sort out.
