Hi,I started my iva in august 2013 with a debt of £16700 to pay.payments were set at £397 for 8 months then £347 for 52 months.to date I have paid in £8044.As I was due an inheritance I contacted my IP for a settlement figure,they came back to me with a figure of £32400 which includes a total figure of £21949 costs.I was thinking i would make an offer of £17500 based on remaining monthly payments plus 12 months payments to cover no release of equity.Can anyone advise me whether this is a viable offer or will my IP simply demand the whole inheritence (£23000) and further monthly payments untill their settlement figure is reached.I would also like to query some of their costs
Costs would be calculated at 15% of the total debt, plus nominees fee of around £2k and disbursements. There might also be 8% p.a statutory interest thrown in.
The creditors are entitled to the inheritance up to the settlement figure quoted, so I doubt they will settle for your offer.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
