I have agreed to repay £4000 per month and made the first payment on 23 March. I have now been served with a statutory demand for the full amount and threatened with bankruptcy. Can I set up an IVA? |

Once you have been served with a statutory demand you have 21 days to settle the debt or 18days to challenge it, so time is of the essense.
After 21days the creditor can petition for your bankruptcy.
You should seek advice on whether an IVA is an option in your circumstances.
Do you have any assets that would be at risk in Bankruptcy?

The obvious elephant in the room here though is that with such a large repayment planned to this one creditor then unless the debtor has massive debts then this creditor may have sufficient voting power to block the IVA
That's my first impression given the. sparse details anyway |

It's not just theoretical - an IP will take out an Interim Order to stop any creditor from taking legal action whilst the IVA is put in place if this is threatened.
Obviously if the IVA is not accepted then the creditor is at liberty to start pursuing you again otherwise they are bound by the IVA.
Do speak to an expert - they will be able to give you free advice

Hi Joseph
If you start the IVA process it is possible (theoretically at least) for your Insolvency Practitioner or IP firm to get you legal protection from your creditors via the courts.
However just the threat of this happening (and of course the possibility of a payout from the IVA) is often enough to cause an aggressive creditor to back off anyway.

Hello there - the best advie i ca give on such limitedinformation is to have a look on the left hand side of the screen at the 'experts' tab and scroll down to view the experts and contact one of us from there - either of us can go throug our particular situation and advise you on what your options are - An IVA is possible to set up, provided you 'qualify' debt level, disposable income etc and which ever of us you contcat can talk you through the process. Icf an IVA is something tht you wish to then take forward, I have to advise you that time is of the essence, so that your creditor can be contacted prior to the bankrtupcy date to advise re IVA etc, so try to get in touch asap
Hope this helps, Melanie
