We receive a lot of calls and emails from the public asking; "How do I deal with additional creditors now that the IVA has been approved?".
Before the IVA proposal was drawn up you would have been asked to clarify that you had included all of your unsecured creditors. Only if a creditor is included in the IVA, will they be bound by the terms of it and you protected from any action they could take.
If a debt comes to light after the IVA has been approved that hasn’t been included, then you must let the IVA Supervisor know about it as soon as possible. There is no guarantee that this debt will be admitted to the IVA. Creditors vote on a getting a certain dividend from the IVA. By adding another debt to this arrangement, the dividend would be reduced and possibly be less than the creditors are prepared to accept.
