Hi Doug
if it were me I would accept that there is a chance of having to pay something BUT - I would most certainly let the Court decide. If there is a hearing you should quote all of the evidence that you have researched suggesting you should not be liable for payment.
Trying to win an arguement against the OR is one thing but I would still put my faith in the justice system. I have read where such incidences have brought the wrath of the judge down heavily on the OR in question.

Hi Doug,
Just had my interview this morning and he said that as on benefits he couldn't claim an IPO and because he would have to dis-count the CB and DLA he couldn't get a voluntary payment from us either.
I think you were just unlucky with yours but stick it out, the law is the law!

Hi doug
unfortunately the OR offices are actually set targets for realising IPA's. This was brought about by major creditors complaining that they felt OR's generally were being too lenient and therefore not recovering enough monies for their benefit.
I think most of us understand that if it is affordable then something should indeed be paid back. Clearly some examiner's find it difficult to identify where an IPA is or is not practical.
The guidleines quoted much earlier in this thread are those set for the examiners and as such, in my view, should be adhered to.
Well done Doug for sticking to your guns and having faith in your civil rights and the forum. A brave thing to do when you feel most of the world is against you.
Debt free, no IPA and now on with the rest of your life.
All the very best.
