Hello all.
I am in my first year in IVA and managing ok. My car which I need for work and visits to my sick mum is starting to play up. I have just had to spend 400 pounds to get it through the MOT. Its not right and I feel its going to cost me more over the next months. I want to know how I go about asking for a three month payment holiday to save up to replace my car. I pay at present £770 pounds per month and the replacement car would cost about 3000 the balance i have in my emergency fund, can anyone guide me on this, I would like to ask for a holiday payment now rather than wait three months when my car stops for good.
any help is great

Hi,
You should post this on the http://www.iva.co.uk/forum board. You may get some help here as some people have been in an IVA before declaring bankruptcy but this forum is regarding bankruptcy rather than IVAs. |

| First port of call would be your IP. Do they know about your emergency fund? |

RHB is right, you need to speak to your IP.
I'm presuming you have worked overtime to save the £3k in your emergency fund, but I don't understand why you need a payment break from your IVA if you have this.

Thank you to all who have responded to my mail.
Skippy,I do not state that I have 3000 pounds!! I have asked if I start a three month holiday break at 770 and with what I have in my emergency fund I would be able to purchase a car worth 3000k.
The questions are
Is this something that could be concidered?
And rather than wait for my car to completley breakdown and in the meantime continue to pay for parts that I start the break now?
Many thanks to all |

I'm sorry, I read that you had an emergency fund of £3k and you needed the balance from the holiday break - just put it down to me being tired!
You really need to speak to your IP about this. There's a post on the IVA forum that I'm assuming is from you and the general opinion is that if you need to purchase a car to work there shouldn't be a problem, but only your IP can sanction this.
