I dont know how much peoples arrangements vary in this regard but I would recommend 100% to people starting out on an IVA that you pay in your Overtime / Bonuses / Pay Rise "extras" as soon as you receive them. I have the normal 50% Overtime / Bonus clause and send in an extra cheque each month to cover this. I also recently had a Pay Rise and - on informing my IP - had my new monthly payment notified to me a week later. Sad to see the payment go up (but knew of course that it would!!!) but it is such a relief to get this out of the way and sorted rather than having to wait for the Annual Review and a possible big bill for arrears. I think during an IVA you are always half expecting something to go wrong so there is no point tempting fate by putting things off!!

Great advice Optimist, I think that if you put the money aside you could be tempted to spend it (I know I would). So its better to pay it to the I.P as soon as you get it [:D]
