It’s against the terms of your IVA to obtain additional credit above £500 without prior consent from your IVA supervisor. This includes borrowing money from family or friends.
By repaying your family and friends first, you’re showing them preferential treatment over and above the creditors in your IVA.
If you’re struggling with your monthly budget or your IVA payments, or you have an emergency cost to meet, it’s important you contact your IVA provider to discuss your options.
