It seems a very low amount for an IVA. Which company are you with?

If they did an I&E which found you had a disposable income of more than £50, to which you will have agreed, then you would not have qualified for a DRO. What is your monthly IVA payment ?

Council tax is actually a debt, being really due in full on the start of the financial year.
