Hi
you really should review this with an expert BEFORE you decide to go down the Br route and hand the house back.
If you are on a high mortgage costs then if you moved to rented accomodation ( at a lower monthly cost) there is a serious risk that you will be left with a large disposable income and therefore have a 3 year Income Payment Agreement.
You should go through the options with someone experienced with IPA calculations and then speak to your Insolvency Practitioner about your feelings and options.
There is no point ending the IVA only to find out that you are in a similar monthly outgoing.
However if you have excluded debts from the iVA then that is also a major problem.
speak to an expert to rationalise your thoughts and review all your options.

Your priority debts are things like mortgage/rent, the utilities, housekeeping etc.
You should have put everything into your IVA. You need to speak to your IP and inform them of this. It could be that this omission will put you in breach and your IVA may fail anyway.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your IVA isn't going well.
What you are referring to is an Income Payment Agreement, and if you have surplus income of over £100 a month after your priority debts have been paid then you will have to pay across between 50 and 70% of that to your creditors for three years.
Your debts are written off, but if you can afford to pay back something to them, this is good.
You would have to let your IVA fail by missing three payments, and to go BR will cost you £510 each.
Your credit record will also be shot for a further six years from the date of the bankruptcy.
As you are so far in to your IVA, it would be a shame to let it fail now.
