Hi,

If an IVA is accepted you usually have an equity release clause in year 4 dependant on how much equity you have in your home.

Have you spoken to a debt advisor yet?

hi no i haven't spoke to a debt advisor yet not sure how to go about it also can you tell me what a equity release clause is thanks.

Hi zjl

Could you confirm how much you feel you could afford to pay your creditors each month, together with the value of your property and amount you currently owe on the mortgage.

Good morning,

Welcome to the forum.

So you have £106000 equity and £23000 debt, is that right?

Hi zjl

On those figures you should consider remortgaging your property and paying off the debts in full. The cost of a higher mortgage will probably be a lot lower than £200.

You would not be able to get an IVA accepted as you are not insolvent.
