Hi, I have an IVA. Last year I was made redundant after working in the same place for 10 years. Due to my mental health deteriorating was allowed a 6 month break on IVA payments. When it restarted I was still unemployed but through family and living off toast I have been making payments. I have now missed last month's payment and cannot see how I can make this month's too I have a job opportunity starting next month so will be able to start making payment again I'm just worried they are going to cancel my IVA.
Have a chat to your IP ..explain and make an agreement of covering the last two payments over the next few months when your new opportunity starts. Good luck with this opportunity x

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !
Thank you for your reply ok i was worried just one missed payment would mean the iva being cancelled so knowing its 3 puts my mind at rest slightly . I have read you can have up to 9 months approved payment break in certain circumstances. My apologises for the duplicate posts
It might be worth putting forward a variation proposal to creditors to see if they will accept payments to date in full and final and bring the IVA to an early end.
Hopefully you can get something sorted with your IP.

Hi i have only had the iva for 2 years so settling is not an option. I emailed my advisor and they passed my case on to someone else .. they have asked how I have been making payments since I have been out of work and how will I carry on making payments .I have explained my famiky have been helping and are willing to help untill i find work i am extremely worried they will cancel my iva on this basis .
I doubt if they will - as long as they are aware this is just help and not a loan. As long as they get the payments it should not be a problem.

I really hope so I'm on edge waiting for their reply. I think missing 2 payments has not helped my case. But i have offered to.pay extra per month to cover the payments missed or to see if I could have a further payment break . This is just a blip and with help from famiky I know i can keep with payments untill i restart work .
Hopefully you will have no problem and will find work soon.
