Thanks wild rose - but I'm just hitting the half way - I'm in a 6 year IVA due to house that I'm trying to save [:)]

But you're right - it will be a sense of achievement come "2016"

Think I'm just feeling a bit blue [:(] as I just got out of hospital Friday as well. It will all be fine - in the end and thank you x

Halfway through is a great place to be, because trust me the second half will feel as if it is passing so much quicker than the first one. Borrowing money from family members can bring additional problems, so perhaps in the long run your destiny is lying on the right road.

I'm a massive believer in fate and it was meant to be [:)] x

Do you have any other means of raising any money? (legal of course!). I assume you don't own your property?

Hi Shaun,

No not that I think of.... No "bank" will lend it, nor are we allowed to borrow it anyway.
Yes I do own my own propery.... Does that make a difference then?

Currently approx 50-60k equity might be more.

Not necessarily. It may be possible to fashion a full and final offer supported by bank borrowing. Your IP will undoubtedly agree to the borowing if it is to settle the IVA.

Really ?? I honestly thought it was an absolute no.

But I surpose if you're "paying" of your iva what do they mind.
Phil I assume its ok to email you? I can see this is your line of work.

But what is the point in doing that? You're effectively replacing debt that currently has its interest and charges completely frozen, with new debt that is going to attract interest, that doesn't seem sensible at all

Lem any deal would be constructed to also resolve the equity release clause. There's lots of reasons why people want to do this. For a start the property could increase in value in the next 3 years and/or availability of mortgages returns more widely. In both cases its likely to mean a bigger 'buy-out'. Incomes can increase and result in higher IVA contributions etc. etc. Lots of people just want rid of the IVA, get some surety of outcome and to move on.

Sorry Shaun,

I've no idea why I put Phil (Maybe you look like one[:)])

I also agree with everything you say about why I would do this - so back to my statement yesterday, should I email direct about my / our options?

Possibly thinking of Phil Vickery the rugby player or celebrity chef?! Neither look like me but both are far more famous! Biscuits, happy to look at your various options with you. My details are on my profile.

Oh Yeah... I think you're right.
I'm a bit of a cook head, so for sure that's why Phil popped into my empty head... [:)]

OK - I'll drop you an email and Thank you.

Sometimes when people make a comment "foggy" you need a like button :)
I could actually picture you jumping up and down - I know, I know .....
