Vehicles and property are the most common, however if you have antiques, paintings or jewelry in excess of the above then this would likely be sold.

Hi just a quick question. When you say they wouldn't normally bother with assets under £1000 is that per individual item or in total. The reason I ask is that I don't have any real assets just paperback books.

I don't agree with the £1,000 figure quoted, as just a couple of months ago we saw a poster on iva.co.uk have an expensive camera valued at £300 taken by the OR because he had been honest enough to declare it.

Assets you are allowed to exclude are those which are essential to basic living - such as furniture, bedding and kitchen utensils. TVs are not usually touched, although I have know the OR to remove a plasma screen before now. At the end of the day the OR will take a view based upon the list you provide them with. In which case I feel that your books will be safe.

For an informal chat about any financial difficulties, or advice as to the options available, I can be contacted via my website - www.melaniegiles.com
