Dear Mumsnet,
I need some advice have been to CAB. I am in debt due to ex not financially supporting me over the past years. I have no assessts thnakfully.I rent. I have two options IVA or Bancruptcy. I am struggling to come to terms with the word bancruptcy. I have about £30k in debt to bank loan and credit card. My new partner and I work full time in the public sector and are concerned that we could be both made redundant due to Government cuts.
If I go down the IVA route I will be paying £534 a month back over the next fibve years. Obviously bancruptcy is less. Is there any way i can reduce the costs down any further as I struggle to pay £500 a month and obviously there will be a 20% Vat rise in January.
I live in my fathers house - he is retired and lives abroad. I do not want to tell him if I go either route.Please help.
Thanks
