The individual concerned has taken out an Individual Voluntary Arrangment due to the total level of debt.  We may receive some small payments against the debt over the next five years, but these may be sporadic and the value is likely to small against the overall debt.  Should we receive such payments they will be held  and then offset against the debt at some point in the future.   The original overpayment of £14,986.02 was raised on 10 November 2004 and covered the period from 9 November 1998 to 2 February 2004 following a fraud investigation.  We had recovered £2,683.13 by the time the IVA was instigated.
