I am in an IVA which is running well and haS 18 MONTHS TO GO. I am a trustee of a local Charity am I alowwed to continue this. It is purely voluntary I receive no pay or expenses.

Hi Shel, glad to hear your IVA is running well and I'm sure the last 18 months will fly by. One of our professionals will be along soon to give exact advice but in the opinion of a fellow person within an IVA it shouldn't be a problem, but do wait for professional advice. All the best Shel. x

Unfortunately you cannot be a trustee as a regular poster here confirms on the above thread. If you only have 18 months to go how has this not been noticed before?

Apologies Shel and Michael for my error, I did state it was my opinion and do now know for future reference xx

No problem Lesley. It seems a very harsh rule and makes no sense at all.

That seems so harsh- someone is prepared to give up time and energy for a charity and can't because of an IVA.

Any idea what the thinking is about this rule Michael?

Oldfashioned prejudice is probably the height of it Julie, along with Charity Commission ignorance about the reasons for personal insolvency and the steps people take to address their financial difficulties.

Thanks Mel...s its a decision made by the charity commission not due to IVA guidelines?

Most definately
