They will receive a copy of the proposal now anyway so will be fully aware of the IVA. You may get the odd phone call from a call centre but nothing of any great concern. It will not impact on your IVA in the slightest.
Cancel your direct debits and let them contact you - they will receive a copy of the proposal document now and should annotate their system. Should you receive phonecalls then my suggestion is to simply say we are entering into an IVA your company has been informed and all correspondence should now go via my IP.
Polite and to the point - don't be badgered into making a payment ....use this money to build a small emergency fund as you will need it when in an IVA.

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !
Thanks for the advice. Have cancelled them all so will just wait and see what happens, have had confirmation that my creditors meeting is Friday 13th! Hmmm! But not too long to wait x
I know, I can't believe it's moved so fast, MCD have been excellent so far and put everything together really quickly. Just hope it all continues to go smoothly and quickly! x feeling loads better about everything since my last frantic messages to you Broke! x
