First of all, thanks to everyone here who has supported me throughout my IVA over the course of the last 2 years. Unfortunately after I lost my job about a year ago, things didn't pan out too well. I couldn't keep up with my repayments and given that I am currently on benefits, I haven't been able to make any repayments for a year or so.
I have been asked to make token payments if I am to keep the IVA alive, but given that I am not in a position to, they are looking to terminate the agreement. I have a Variations Interview coming up in 3 weeks time where my current expenses will be discussed. I personally didn't see the point as all my monthly expenses have already been sent to them about a month before. What can I expect from this Variations Interview? Basically I am looking for a 3 month extension, hoping for my circumstances to change.

Cheers.

Hi, I don't know what you can expect from the interview I'm sorry but wonder do you have any assets that would be affected by bankruptcy as sometimes it's best to draw a line under out debts once and for all and have a fresh start so to speak. I know some don't like the thought of bankruptcy but it's a debt solution that does suit some.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I think the fresh start sounds wonderful. But I am trying to get into self-employment at the same time. But can a bankruptcy affect a possible self-employed venture?

I don't have any more assets to my name as of a few years ago. My main concern about declaring bankruptcy is how I will go about finding the money for it and how long it'll take to get there. By my estimate it might take about 3-4 months. So my concern is what can the creditors do in the meantime? What are the chances of getting them to make me bankrupt instead of me having to go through the expense?

I guess your IP just wants to have a personal chat with you to explore all avenues which may be still an option. I often do this with my own clients, and as it is for your benefit there is nothing to worry about.
