Hi s1028 and welcome
If your income allowed it then yes you may well do.
You would have to have money left over from your income and expenditure in order for teh official receiver to instigate an Income Payment Agreement.
So if you had income of say 1600, outgoings of say 1400 that leaves you with 200 DI, disposable income and so the OR would look at getting about 100 from that per month.
If you get an IPA you are obligated by law to inform them of any changes in your I&E within 21 days and that goes for income going up or down.

Hello,
The IPA lasts for 3 years, and depending on the amount of disposible income you have left each month the OR can take 50-70% of this.
Just to also note, whether you get an IPA or not - you still have to keep the OR informed off your circumstances...ie change of address, change of income - up or down....
Thanks |

If you don't get an IPA you only need to keep the OR informed of any changes in your circumstances until you are discharged from BR, not 3 years.

Hi,
we all seem to keep meeting!!!
that is true that you have to keep the OR informed whether you have an IPA or not until you are discharged...
but i read today on the insolvency website that they can contact you anytime after you are discharged and get an update from you on your circumstances....not sure they can do anything then...but it states it on there! |

If you haven't got an IPA in place when you are discharged they can't implement one, so the only reason I can think they'd need to contact you is if they were suspicious about something.
I certainly won't be telling them of my whereabouts when my IPA is finished!

Hi Bang up
Do you mean that if you have no ipa in place when you are discharged then that will be that.
As from what i understand yes they cant make you start one once discharged.

They can write or call you and ask about your circumstances but they CANNOT instigate an IPA once you are
"DISCHARGED".
If you have assets that haave not been dealt with by your discharge date they will still have to contact you and vice versa if a bill comes in that could be written on if the old BR then you would have to contact them.
