Hi everyone

Happy new year!

Got a question.............. if I were to eventually live with a new partner, how would his income effect my IVA? Would he have to help pay? Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't remember the rules

Thanks [8D]

No, he wouldn't have to pay but they may ask for his income details to verify that he is paying his share towards utilities etc., as sometimes two can live cheaper than one it may free up some additional disposable income to pay into the IVA but he definitely wouldn't pay towards your IVA. Some posters have been know to lodge as such with a proper rent book etc., (I'm sure I've read that). x

I have read that too Lesley !

It might depend on who your company is. I know Payplan operate on a household income basis to calculate DI (whether they apply that retrospectively I don't know.

I'm with Mel, so it would be good for her to advise me if she comes online. It's not definate yet, but i'd just like to know for the future

Mel will give excellent definitive advice as per usual, all the best for the future x

Thanks Lesley x

Your partners income figure would be used to ensure a fair split of household bills. If the frees up some of your disposable income to go to the iva you may be asked to contribute more.
