Will my occupational pension be affected by an IVA - can it be taken into account as in bankruptcy?

Hi Ann and welcome to the forum, I cannot give you an answer but will keep this bumped up for someone who does know. x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

Speak to your ip. Mine was left out of the IVA, I got to continue paying into it and my contributions are locked in so there is no danger of a windfall needing to be paid. I think it's different f

I think it's different depending on your individual circumstances and what level of dividend you would be paying back.

Hi and welcome from me as well.

Are you enquiring as to whether you will be allowed to continue to contribute towards it? If so I think it depends upon the amount you have to pay.

If you are likely to receive a lump sum before the IVA is ended you may well end up having to pay some or all of this across.

It is usual that you will be allowed to continue paying into your occupational pension, but only at the minimum allowable rate, i.e. no paying AVCs or anything to top it up.

I pay 6.8% towards mine (and that will probably rise next year) and had no problems continuing with it.

That may also have something to with my age though as I am getting very close to being able to retire.

Are you worried about your monthly pension payments been taken into account when calculating your disposable income, or whether you will be able to continue making payments into the pension from your salary?

Hi I have wondered the same I pay £85 a month into mine but its the only pension my husband and I have between us can't afford. For him to do one to. We went with mine as I have a death in service clause in mine so really don't want to lose that. As my kids are the nominated people to get the lump sum and given our situation if anything happened to me that's all they would get?

I was allowed to keep my final salary company pension going in the IVA, and continued payments at 3% of salary. It had been going for 6 years prior to the IVA though.
