if i recieve a windfall after i have started paying into iva and it is more than the original iva agreement do i lose the rest of the money

Hi julie

Not at all. You will of course need to pay all of the creditors in full, and the costs your IP has incurred to date. In some cases, you may also need to pay statutory interest which runs at 8% per annum - so if you are lucky enough for this to happen, do check the terms of your IVA agreement and seek the advice of your IP. The surplus money is yours to keep and enjoy!

Hi
Just to add to Melanies post that you have to pay the full ORIGINAL debt to your creditors if a windfall covers it,not just the amount agreed in an IVA.

You will have to pay 100% of the original debt plus IP costs and potential Statutory interest.
