I am going to be getting an IVA soon & I could potentially access a small pension pot, not enough for a lump sum IVA, but enough to pay off my overdraft.
Legally, do I have to pay this into a new account, so it can be shared amongst all my creditors, as technically, it would be giving preferential treatment to my bank or should I leave it safely with the pension company for now?
It’s only a couple of grand & my total debts are about £70,000, so a drop in the ocean, really!

Or can I just give to my daughter, who needs a deposit for a flat, as she’s about to be evicted?
Depends on what you mean by "soon" -- too close to getting the IVA and credtiors might get miffed ... a bit further away and they would never know.,
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014 http://foggy.blogs.iva.co.uk
Thanks, probably a couple of weeks away, I’m thinking if I just get it paid straight to my daughter, no one would know, but obviously don’t want to risk ending up in court!
