Does a CPL pass "secure" my ATPL examinations?

Hello!

I have just recently passed eight of the ATPL examinations. It is my intention to sit the final six at the end of this year. My question surrounds a concern I have regarding the funding of my CPL/IR.

In the event of a theoretical 'worst case' scenario whereby I did not have access to sufficient funds to complete the IR within the three years allowed post ATPL exam passes, but had passed the CPL.

So... situation is I have a CPL but no IR and the three years permitted have lapsed. Where does that leave me with regards to the ATPL passes?

I've heard several variations, along the lines of the fact that the CPL 'secures' nine of the subjects, meaning I would have to resit five of the exams. Not great but bearable.

However, I've heard even worse...
The CPL does not secure any of the exams and despite a valid CPL I would have to resit all fourteen subjects before I could do an IR.

Could I have an informed opinion?

Thanks in advance!
