Failed IVA payments
What will happen if I cannot make the payments towards an IVA?
The proposal drawn up at the start of the IVA process will have been based on your ability to pay. If your circumstances change and your income reduces thereby decreasing your surplus, then it might be possible to call an additional meeting of the creditors to explain the changes and to ask whether they would reconsider the offer.
There could be many reasons for a change in your circumstances – you could lose your job, have a breakdown of your relationship, suffer from an illness, have a baby or change your job. All of these have the potential to affect your level of income and therefore your ability to maintain the payments to the IVA.
Normally under the terms of the IVA, in extreme situations, you may be allowed to miss a maximum of 2 payments into the IVA without the arrangement failing, but you must have the permission of the Supervisor of the arrangement and the creditors.
f you simply stop making payments into the arrangement, and fail to contact the Supervisor, then you will default on the IVA. This could then lead to you being made bankrupt.
