Hi, just had my IVA approved, thanks to Melanie and team.
I'm just curious, it seems common for creditors, even those who have a large stake, not to vote at all.
Why is this? Is it that they would vote yes, but just can't be bothered?

A lot of the creditors take a commercial decision that if they cannot influence the vote - ie they are owed less than 25% of the aggregate, that their time is spent on other things.

But there are certaintly more creditors participating in voting these days than say two years ago.

my question is what if none of your creditors vote, what happens?

if no one votes then your IVA is not accepted. You must have a positive response from at least 75% of creditors who vote.

Hi
So if only one creditor votes and that is a yes then it's a 100% acceptance.

So if only 1 creditor who is owed a very small amount of your money is the only one to vote and they say yes you get the go ahead!!! Cool!!

I once got and IVA accepted for £65,000 on the back of one vote - a £13 bill owed to the client's dentist!
