If I am FSA regulated as I work in an investment bank and go into IVA - will this affect my FSA status?

Also I do not have a mortgage now - will going into iVA stop me from obtaining a mortgage?

Hi Rajd and welcome to the forum

You will need to check with the FSA directly, as they do seem to keep changing their policy with regard to members proposing IVAs. An IVA will not stop you getting a mortgage, but you will need to be able to put a deposit down, and if you have spare cash or savings now these will need to be declared and handed over as part of the IVA. You will also probably have to pay a higher interest rate, as you represent a higher credit risk.
