As with any debt agreement, it’s important that you seek professional advice before committing.
An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), is a formal, legally binding agreement with your creditors to pay back as much of your debts as you can over a set period of time (usually 5 years). The agreement is based on what you can afford and not what you owe. At the end of the period, any remaining debts are usually written-off.
An IVA must be arranged by a qualified and certified professional, called an ‘Insolvency Practitioner’ (IP) for it to be legally binding on all parties. The IP will work with you to assess your finances and determine how much you can realistically afford to repay each month. A payment plan is then prepared and sent to your creditors for agreement. This plan usually consists of monthly payments for the duration of the IVA, but may also include a lump sum or a combination of both. A majority of your creditors must agree to the terms of the IVA for it to work.
To be eligible for an IVA you must meet the following criteria:

If you have more than £6,000 debt and can afford to make a regular monthly repayment towards clearing them, there is a good chance that an IVA would be a good solution for you.
With an IVA you make a single monthly, affordable repayment towards all included debts for, typically, a 5 year period. After this time any remaining debts are usually written off in full.
* We assess each customer individually based on their circumstances and payments to the IVA are based on what is realistic and affordable.
An IVA creates a legally binding agreement between you (the debtor) and the people/companies you owe money to (your creditors).
If you cannot afford to repay all of your debts but can make a regular contribution for a set period of time an IVA could be suitable for you.
In general, an IVA will not have any impact on your job. However, in some professions, such as accountancy and solicitors, entering into an IVA could mean that you are unable to practice or will be able to only under certain conditions.
All debt solutions will have an impact on your credit score.
Details of your debt solution will be entered onto your credit record and will remain there for a period of usually 6 years.
Although the initial advice that we offer is completely free, fees will apply should you enter into an IVA. This is the case with all IVA providers due to the ongoing management of your account and repayments.
These fees are detailed in your IVA proposal and will be agreed by your creditors. Typically fees are included in your agreed affordable monthly repayment , not in addition to it.
We are available 6 days a week till late to help and guide you.
