If it's money you have managed to save from allowances, or someone else is paying for it then you don't need to tell them.

I haven't ever told my IP about holidays. Go and enjoy yourself!

Yep - we've just come back from two weeks in Corfu which was paid for by us through saving and the wife's extra pay from night shifts. We didn't tell the IP - I'm sure they're not interested in it to be honest, unless it impacted the payment of the IVA!

Did you have a good time DK? x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Top notch thanks Lesley - a break away from routine! 11 days of sun, and a couple of rain or cloud, so can't complain! Shame you have to come back and face work / IVA / bills!

I took holidays every year during my IVA.

These were funded by savings from allowances and by selling items on eBay.

I never thought to clear this with my IP.

We are not asked to surrender our passports when entering an IVA so obviously foreign travel is not forbidden.

You can go wherever you like, especially if somebody else is funding it!!! We've managed two holidays, one to Egypt two years ago and one to Turkey last month. Both funded by family.

Next one will probably be when the IVA is finished.

2 weeks after our IVA started I had a phone call from my case worker and I had to ask her to speak up as I couldn't hear her - I was at the check in desk at Gatwick Airport (and I told her that) - only worried about it moments after! I was off to a wedding in Guernsey not really a holiday as I was home 2 days later x
