My husband had now been told from Monday his job has to shut down. But his bosses are telling him they can’t pay his next months wage as the government 80% wage isn’t up and running then as they just rang to apply for it so we have no money for next month. Which means my husband has no wages coming in for his next payday where he pays the rent the council tax and his car etc.. where my wage is extremely small as I work part time in care. I simply cannot afford my rent council tax and all essential bills and food shop. Do I need to inform Creditfix I’m the only one in a iva that this is happening to us.

You do need to speak to CF - you might be able to take a payment break.

Thank you it’s just really hit me and panicking about it especially with my 2 year old and I’ve never not ever paid any house bills or rent. I’ll give them a call

I finally got through and explained my money situation and the gentlemen on the phone was very understanding and said he will give me a April payment break and start to repay back in May. But keep them informed of my husbands wages remain the same or back up running again. They said they would add one month extra payment on the end of my 5 years to make up for the missing April payment which is understandable

Communication is key -- glad they could help.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

100% agree with that Foggy. I was more worried than anything else that Creditfix would be the most mad at me due to this. But I couldn’t fault them and the support.
Thank you also this this forum I daily read questions and answers and really is a huge support system

I think given the national impact this is having on absolutely everybody , the IP companies and id hope even creditors will be understanding in the current climate.
Glad youve been given a break while things hopefully settle down.
Take care and stay safe everybody
