What if i have recently taken out a loan? will i still be able to include this in the iva or is there a time limit from getting the loan to taking out an iva?

Hi
You can but it is likely that the creditor will reject your IVA proposal.What did you use the money for ?? was it debt consolidation ?? How much is the loan for and what is your total unsecured debt ??

Hi bulletproof

There is no finite time limit after taking out a loan before proposing an IVA, but as Andy says the creditor who has given you the loan might be a tad upset - especially if their money has been used to pay off other creditors. If the new loan is less than 25% of your aggregate debt, then a rejecting vote can always be outvoted.

You will have to include all unsecured loans into your IVA proposal. If you have taken out a loan recently and it forms more than 25% of your total unsecured debt you could experience the problems mentioned above. However, if the loan was taken out in good faith then it should be possible for your IP to get your case accepted.

I agree with both experts above, all unsecured debt should be included in your IVA no matter what date it was taken out.

If you could answer the questions mentioned by Andy Davie then this would really help us advise further.

Hi Bulletproof,

As previously stated by the other experts you would need to include your loan into the IVA. It is true that creditors can look unfavorably to loans under 12 months old but this is not always the case.

Kind Regards
