Hi Going forward, this is sounding like the ISI has you scheduled in court for an Income Payment Order hearing, and have given you the option of consenting to the order prior to the hearing. You may want to consider getting professional advice from an Insolvency Practitioner. But this area of IPAs/IPOs is new to Ireland and people with experience are thin on the ground. Having said that, somebody like Jim Stafford or Anthony Joyce might be able to help.
If you have the stomach for it, it might be an idea not to consent, and take the opportunity to explain your hardship to a judge in an attempt to get a reduced order, or even better, no order at all. If you choose to go this route be prepared. Have all your income and expenditure identified, the SFS forms are great for this, and you never know, you might get a break. However, there is a small risk that it could go the other way and the judge imposes a higher a amount, but chances of this are small, and the judges have a track record of only ordering payments based on ability to pay when dealing with judgement enforcement cases, and when the defendant is present in court.
