Why don't you want to continue with your IVA? You will have to let it fail and then go bankrupt or ask Stepchange to terminate it for you. There will be a fee to pay fir BR and you may find that you have an income payment order for up to three years.
Are you having problems with your IVA?

We need to know a bit more to say something useful e.g. Debt total in IVA. Monthly payment to Stepchange. How many years to go in IVA.
With no assets, bankruptcy is usually a better option at the start than an IVA. If you are in the first couple of years and realize you made a mistake, it may be sensible to switch.
But if you are further through the IVA, if your IVA payments are affordable it may be sensible to continue, especially if you would have to make monthly payments for 3 years in bankruptcy.
He started his IVA last year and hopefully he will come back and let us know why he is struggling and how we can help him if we can.

Do i have.to pay for my iva to stepchange
An income payment order may be as much as your IVA payments and you have to pay the upfront fee (can be paid in instalments), Your payments to Stepchange would cease. Your debts would be wiped off immediately, you would come off the Insolvency Register after 12 months but your six years bad credit would start again from day one.

The Official Receiver will go through your income and expenditure - you obviously will be able to live but you may have to make those payments. It will be down to them. They will take into account all of your income.

For the pay order like uc
UC is treated as income in bankruptcy. But If you are getting Universal Credit it sounds like you are paying a surprisingly large payment each month to your IVA.
(There is an exception that if your only income is from Benefits, you would never pay any monthly payments in bankruptcy.)
Do you have any Disability Benefits such as PIP or DLA? In bankruptcy although they count as income, they are cancelled out as you can have an expenses line for the same amount.
