Would my lifestyle have to change if I entered an IVA?
Your lifestyle isn’t forced to change if you enter an IVA, providing that you do not have an excessive one. The creditors will want to be sure you have a reasonable standard of living, and there are guidelines to ensure this.
However, allowances cannot be made for such things as social life, lottery, and smoking etc. These are not seen by the creditors as essential living expenditures, particularly when you are unable to meet the contractual monthly payments and are asking them to write off a percentage of your debts.
You will be expected to live within your budget as much as possible, which is why it is essential that you cover all the normal household living expenses on your financial statement.
