If there is any change to your personal circumstances such as illness, redundancy, relationship breakdown or bereavement which could cause you to experience problems in keeping up the repayments in the IVA then you should contact your Insolvency Practitioner straight away.
The Insolvency Practitioner will revise your income and expenditure based on your change of circumstances and if required, another creditor meeting may need to be held to change the original agreement.
In extreme circumstances, if need be, you could be given permission by the IVA and creditors to miss 2 payments. If you miss a payment without permission this will deemed as a default in your IVA which could result in your IVA failing and possibly lead to your IP commencing bankruptcy proceedings against you. |
