I suggest you ask them how they think you will be able to afford to replace the car so that you can get to work and therefore earn the money to fund your IVA. Simply saying no is not helfpul. Which firm are you with?

That is a poor solution - you can have credit at any time during an IVA so long as it is with the Supervisor's permission. I suggest you tell them you want to speak to the IP in future and not the paid assistant.

How much is your current DI? As a possible alternative you could look at a payment break and reallocate the money to a new "used" car?!!
