Hi, I'm in the UK and work for a local authority collecting council tax and sometimes use the Insolvency Act. I'm not sure why an Insolvency Practitioner is involved before you are declared bankrupt. Nor does it sound like an IVA proposal. Your debt, although above the limit of £750, does seem quite low for such action and pre-bpt court should include costs of up to £1000.
