Hello,

I am in an IVA but considering bankruptcy - I was advised to go BR initially and really wish now I had as I am finding my IVA very tough.

I do have a few questions and would be grateful if anyone can help me . I have a couple of things in the home that could be considered luxury items (some exercise equipment for example). How and when would these be siezed? Do I sell them on myself or would the OR send baillifs round to collect goods and sell them on?

Would I be allowed to keep my laptop or is this too considered a luxury item?

I also have a very ancient and damp caravan worth only a couple of hundred pounds on a good day..would I also have to lose this?


Thank you

Hi

the excercise equipment is unlikely to be of significant value second hand unless it was expensive and bought recently.

The same goes for a laptop and unless it was bought on credit very recently it is probably safe.

I am confident that the Caravan would be collected unless you made an offer to purchase it back from the official receiver.

Hi,

If you are struggling with your IVAm then bankruptcy could be an option.

Firstly, I would recommend that you speak to your IP to see if you payments could be lowered as it would be a shame to give up on your IVA.

However, I doubt your exercise equipment would have to be sold as it probably wouldn't be worth a lot to the OR. Your laptop would be ok as well.

Not sure about the van, but you might be ok if it's not worth a lot.

The glimmer gets brighter all the time
