Hello all, I am new here although I have been reading this forum for the last few weeks.
My situation is follows, 80k debt and hopefully offering 27p per pound settlement. I have about 11 creditors in total, main ones being LLoyds, MBNA and the dreaded Northern Rock!!!
I am only at the proposal stage at the moment so a long way to go at the moment.[:(]
Hopefully all will be OK and I will get this sorted.
I have a perfect credit record and have never missed a payment. The trouble is I have been paying this for the last 3 years and still owe the same now as I did then!
I will become a regular on here from now on, so hopefully I can pick up some advice and make some friends in the same situation!
hiya 1973 just wanted to welcome you.
you will get so much support and help on here.
if youre ever needing help or are worried jump on here and your buddies will help x [:)]
Try not to worry too much, you're IP wouldn't put a proposal together unless they were confident of its approval. Northern Rock were one of our creditors and agreed to the IVA so don't despair.
When you say 27p/£ settlement do you mean that you are offering a full and final settlement or is that what you propose to pay for the duration of your IVA?
Wow, what a response!! Thanks very much, its nice I am not trying to go it alone.

The 27p is for the duration of the IVA, I wish I had enough to propose a F&F!
Hopefully I am will get a proposal sorted in the next couple of days and then get an answer before too long.
Not sure what the future holds work wise once I enter an IVA but nothing can be worse than the situation I am in now-!!! The reason I say that is I provide freelance work to financial service organisations, so not sure they will still want me once in an IVA!!!

IVA completed 11th Dec 2009 due to a Full and Final with the fantastic help of Michael Peoples and
Mc Cambridge Duffy
Hi well your amongst freinds on here. MAy debts were 82k and 13 creditors i was with DFD and my iva was approved at 18p in the pound it was a fantastic result. NR / MBNA were included I have been in it nearly 1 year and its been much better no letters etc this site was so good and the experts who give their time are genuine and sincere. welcome onboard the debt free express no more rollercoasting...: )
My IP was recommended on IVA.com and is only a couple of minutes drive from where I love so easy for face to face stuff.
They don't charge me anything but take their fees from the IVA pot, is this the usual process? Therefore, if my IVA is not approved I can walk away and be no worse off.
She is really hopefull it will be accepted, so fingers crossed. I am waiting for the proposal and then she said from signing that to getting a decision will probably take 4 weeks.
That is the usual process - it's all factored in to what you pay.
