If your IVA fails you'll be back to square one. You could then opt for either a DMP or BR. If you chose BR you could lose your home, but you could get a third party to buy your share of the beneficial interest, meaning you could then keep your home.

Can you do that if there is equity in the property Skip?

Yes you can. The person buying the BI has to make an offer to the OR and it goes from there.

You will probably pay similar payments to those you would have paid in an IVA. Creditors are not guaranteed to freeze interest or charges, but a lot of them do. Mine did when I did a DMP. You will go back to having phone calls from the creditors.

You will be paying off the whole of the debt, but over a much longer time.
