Hi. I saw your topic, so just joined up. I am fighting my employers through Tribunal, but at least am still in work, but they are hell-bent of getting rid of me. It's dragged on for nearly a year, and stressed me to the very brink, as I was worried about the prospect of losing my job/my house & failing my IVA. I've been kept going with the support from family, friends, my GP and therapist. I've kept my Case Officer up to date with everything. Please ensure you 'tell them like it is', as they are there to help you, and it's in their interests to help you find a solution. Also, as a Manager, I have employed people who have been fired/criminal records etc, and have always recruited on merit. Always be honest with prospective employers, so they can 'risk assess'appropriately. In the darkest of times, there is a solution that will ease your burden. Please continue to chip away - one step at a time. The bottom line has to be, "what's the worse that can happen?", and could you come back from it? Very best of luck
IVA journey started: 30th March 2009. Settled: 17th July 2012. Completion Certificate received: 13th March 2013. Breathe. x
