I'm asking on behalf of my brother. He has unfortunately defaulted on an IVA as he became unemployed. He had been paying it for a couple of years. The company dealing with it has made an application on behalf of those creditors (at his request) but he has other minor debts he wants to include. To the best of my knowledge he has no secured debts. He is in rented accommodation. He fears that the petition will only include those creditors on the IVA.
I see - thanks. It is up to the creditors to include their debts not for him. All existing unsecured debts he has at the time he is declared himself bankrupt are automatically included in the arrangement whether the creditor declared them or not.However assuming the bankruptcy order is made against him and various creditors are not included he should contact the Official Receiver dealing with his case to inform them. They will then be able to contact the creditor on his behalf but the creditor is automatically included in the bankruptcy order anyway.
