We were about to submit our information for an IVA but the person advising us said due to recent credit card spending (over Christmas, so quite a bit) we would likely be turned down by our creditors. They recommended us doing a DMP for 3 months, not touching credit cards at all in that time then apply for IVA at that point. Does that sound like fair and accurate advice?

Most of us lived on credit up until the very end -- but, if it appears to have been a 'last blowout', there could be ill will. Might I ask who you have spoken to ?
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

It depends on the creditors attitudes, which creditors it was, how much you have incurred and which creditors might have the swaying vote.

Ah okay. We've spoken with an advisor from Financial Support Centre. I don't think it was hugely more on my credit cards but my husband it was about £400 difference.

Our cards are with Virgin, MBNA and Barclays.
