So I've been in my IVA since Feb this year and so far it has not been to bad. I am living to my means and not making any silly mistakes.
It won't be long now until my first review and I am getting nervous about it. Mainly because earlier this month I became a Dad.
Any spare cash I have had has gone towards out little one but I'm not stupid I know she is only going to get more expensive.
How do I go about bringing this up with my IVA company?

Hi, firstly huge congratulations on become a Dad, do tell them your change of circumstance as you will be able to claim an allowance for a child within your I&E I would have thought to make things that bit easier.
Enjoy they grow up far too quickly.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Congratulations. As Lesley says, tell your IP and hopefully they can adjust your I&E to help a little.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Junior is now 17 and costing a fortune in driving lessons etc!!
Totally worth it though.
A review should be in order.
