Hi,
I work in sales and my husband does a lot of overtime. Would any of my commission and his overtime need to be paid into the income payment agreement like it does into an IVA or are the payments fixed?
Thanks for any help!

Hi and welcome.

Are you both looking at Bankruptcy?

Hi,

Yes, we are both strongly considering failing our IVA's and going bankrupt.

Is there any reason why you want to fail your IVA? How long have you been in it?

We've been in it 4 years and have 2 to go. We should have gone bankrupt in the first place as we are in negative equity (after the IVA we would still owe £35k over our mortgage on our property through a long term secured loan). We are also struggling with nursery fees. We're paying the lowest we can pay on our IVA.

I would seriously reconsider letting it fail. You have come so far and if you went bankrupt then the six years would start all over again, you would be subject to an IPA for three years for all disposable income if it is above £20 per month.

If you are struggling then please speak to your IP to see if there is a way forwsrd.

Hi Sarah,

As Niobe has said, it seems a shame to fail it now.

Have you spoken to your IP and gone over your income and expenditure? Who told you that you can't go any lower on your payments?
