Can we ask for a small say 10 to 15 % reduction in our monthly payments without a creditor meeting. I have just seen a comment on here that suggests this.

Hi bj4. Have alook at your proposal. It's written in ours that our IP can consider a 15% reduction if it is requested.

welcome to the forum - your proposal documents should outline if this is possible. Normally your IP has the ability to sanction a reduction upto 15% but this may have to be reviewed and the differences made up at the end of the IVA to ensure the minimum dividend agreed to creditors is paid. Have a chat with your IP and I am sure they will come to an agreement for you - ensure your I&E is realistic and does meet your expenditure ! Let us know how you get !

Most proposals seem to allow the IP discretion to reduce payments by up to 15% so check your paperwork and have a word with your IP. They will only agree though if they feel your payments are too high. x

It does depend upon the proposal but I think most protocol compliant IVAs have this now.

Check your proposal and then have a work with your IP if you are not sure.

This clause does seem to be included in the majority of IVAs. Your Ip will know for certain.

You need to read through your proposal/chairmans report to see what it says in there. Mine clearly states the 10% 50/50 (not that I work overtime!).

Even if the proposal does not provide for this, it can generally be easily arranged via a variation of terms with your creditors.
