i am currently helping a friend decide if bankruptcy is her best option.she has about £70k unsecured debt,an income of about £17500,single ,no kids ,rent about £475p.c.m
Question if she opts for bankruptcy is it likely the trustee would apply for an income payment order (IPO) & if so how much is it likely to be?

Hi Macca,

It would depend on her expenditure, but if she has a disposable income after meeting her expenditure then her trustee would look for an IPA.

The amount would depend on the level of disposable income.

Hi Macca - have a look at Skippy's blog - it will give you an idea of what was considered acceptable for her BR - obviously youneed to work out your own so it is a fair reflection of your expenses.
There is a chart of IPAs based on disposable income which will give you some idea of where you're at with that too.
Hope that helps
Take care
