Individual Voluntary Arrangement: IVA

IVAs

An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is basically a formal agreement with your creditors to settle your debt over a fixed period (normally 5 years) with the interest frozen. An IVA can be a really useful way to literally start from scratch and clear your debts.

What Is An IVA?

An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is a formal legally-binding debt solution – an agreed arrangement between you and your creditors (the people you owe money to). An IVA means that you are reaching a compromise with creditors to avoid the consequences of bankruptcy. It allows someone who is in financial difficulty to make a formal proposal to settle his/her debts within a reasonable and fixed period of time. This period is normally no longer than 5 years.

The repayment proposal arrangement involves making reduced payments toward your total debt in order to pay an agreed percentage of it. The repayment proposal is based on what you can afford to pay and, after you have paid for the time agreed, your debt will be settled in full.

Creditors prefer debtors to take out an IVA as it means the debtor can pay a larger contribution towards the debt than could otherwise be expected were the debtor to be made bankrupt. Once agreed, an IVA also prevents creditors from adding any further interest to your accounts or taking any further action such as County Court Judgements, thereby adding additional protection to you. An IVA can be seen as a win-win solution for both debtor (you) and creditor (those you owe money to). Preferable to bankruptcy for creditors who try to avoid bankruptcy petitions due to the high fees.
