[Mrs Plec]

Hi & welcome.

Just a question how did you get an overdraft on your account on an IVA? how much is your overdraft? As me & my partner have just started going through the first stages of an IVA and was told not to have an overdraft on the new bank account we open.

O/D are not permitted in basic bank accounts. If you had a current account with a O/D facility you need to have it removed.

You should not have run up an overdraft whilst in your IVA, but the fact is that you have and you should therefore discuss the implications of this with your IP as soon as possible.

Thank you for your reply my overdraft is £2000 i am in a mess and did not know about not havivg a overdraught in iva i thought my bank hsbc would know i was in one now am pannicking what will happen

[MelanieGiles]

Hi Starboy

Please stop panicking. What is done is done and you must now work with your IP to sort this out. The first step will be to stop using the account and get yourself another bank account open - or negotiate with HSBC that you continue to use the overdrawn account with some form of gradual reduction. Have you also explored the possibility of a family member or friend paying off the overdraft for you?

Either way you must speak to your IP to seek his/her advice. If you were genuinely not told that you could not incur any credit during the IVA - and do check the terms of the IVA document you signed as this is usually referred to expressly within the proposal - then they may be sympathetic to helping you sort this out.

In a case like this, provided the overdraft was cleared, is that regarded as satisfying a IVA breach and the matter is closed or is the IVA at risk simply because a breach has occured regardless of it being resolved.

[MelanieGiles]

If the overdraft it cleared by third party funds there is no breach, although the IP will be telling his client to make sure that the same thing does not happen in the future.

[starboy]

can you tell me if my iva can be cancelled because of this

[MelanieGiles]

You will need to discuss this with your IP, as technically it is a breach but it depends how hard line they want to be.

Personally, if you were my client, I would give you a stiff talking to, but try to see ways of dealing with the situation postively rather that negatively.

Starboy,

I find it very disturbing that you were not told to cancel your overdraft facility, I think this is one of the most important things that someone entering into an IVA can be told.

Contact your I.P immediately so this situation can be sorted out.

I'm surprised that HSBC have allowed this to happen - they usually close the accounts of people in IVAs as a matter of course.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.
