We receive a lot of calls and emails from the public asking; "What happens if any additional debt claims is received during the IVA closure process?".
If during the term of the IVA an additional debt claim is received, the Supervisor will want to know why this debt was not included at the start of the IVA.
If there is a genuine reason why it wasn’t, then the debt will be considered but the outcome will depend on the level of the debt and whether it has a specific effect on the dividend that the creditors will receive.
As a rule, if the additional debt is for more than 5% of the overall debt entered into the IVA, then this can constitute a breach of the IVA and can result in the IVA failing.
