Hi

I am considering trying to get an IVA - I owe 32k approx with HSBC owed 22k Egg 3.5k and the rest to MBNA

I'm 28 and was wondering what the reality of living under an IVA is like. I bearly can cover my payments and bills at the mo so I know i have to do something but I am worried what the impact will be for my future.

I would welcome any frank advice aboutwhat I should do and the restrictions I would comply with. I have contacted thomas charles and they are confident about if I procede with then the IVA it will be accepted

It is hard living on such a tight budet. It also teaches you that if you cant afford, you cant have.
If set up and used correctly it can be very good. I think in the end, the benefits far outweigh the alternative.

Good luck

I think the benefit is greater if you do not own any part of a property as equity release in year 4 means that you will be paying for a lot longer than years.
