An IVA is an agreement worked out between a borrower and a creditor, wherein the borrower agrees to pay them back as much as you can within a period of not more than 5 years (60 months). There are various advantages of an Individual Voluntary Arrangement. To start with, the creditor agrees to wipe off up to 95% of the debt. Since they cannot contact the borrower by letter or telephone, they cannot take any further action against. The interest will be frozen and no charges will be put against any of the borrower’s accounts. IVA remortgages can also prove to be very useful. Some of the debt types that can be dealt with by an IVA are unsecured loans, council tax arrears, Inland Revenue, business rates, personal loans to friends and family.

Moreover, unlike bankruptcy, details of an IVA are not openly published anywhere, it is a confidential arrangement between you and your creditors. Employers and landlords are not informed.

An IVA can help achieve the following things:

•  One reduced monthly payment to your creditors

•  A court order will stop any legal action by your creditors

•  Telephone calls and letter from your creditors will stop.

•  Interest and charges are stopped, so the spiral of debt is halted

•  Fixed repayment method (normally 5 years) at the end of which all of your debts are discharged (any unpaid balances are written off), giving you ‘light at the end of the tunnel

•  All unsecured creditors to whom the I.V.A proposal is sent, are bound by the arrangement, even if they do not agree to the proposal, providing that 75% of your remaining creditors in value agree to the proposal.

•  The I.V.A. is not advertised or notified to your employer.
