An Individual Voluntary
Debt Arrangement is the optimum way to release yourself from debt entirely
and for all time. Its purpose was to serve as a far less draconian alternative
to bankruptcy, as indeed it carries none of bankruptcy’s stigma.
An Insolvency Practitioner
will draft an Individual Voluntary Debt Arrangement after having looked
into your circumstances, and a list of your income and expenditure will
be made, with consideration given to your necessities and your usual
household bills and expenses. Normally you will be able to write off
the majority of your unsecured debt. Only after that will you start
making much reduced monthly repayments into a fund in order to clear
the remainder of the debt.
To be eligible for
an Individual Voluntary Debt Arrangement you usually need to be in employment
and your income needs to exceed your expenditure. By how much your income
needs to exceed your expenditure depends on the IVA source, which is
why our whole-of-market approach works so well: we will match you with
the plan for your own situation.
Your Individual
Voluntary Debt Arrangement will be a binding legal instrument and you
and your creditors will be bound by it.
To apply for an
Independent Voluntary Arrangement, without obligation, or to see if
you are eligible for one, fill in the quick application form below.
If you have at least
two accounts in debt, and total debts of £2,000 or more, use the
form below to see if you qualify. (If you owe less than this, or are
on state benefits, then use this
link to apply instead.)
Please
be aware that figures entered need to be accurate by law, and to
give the best service to you. It is extremely important that you
budget for all necessary expenditure including rent or mortgage,
council tax and utility bills, etc., and any other necessary outgoings
related to the upkeep of your household and inrelation to any specific
circumstances that may relate to you. This website only collects
data on behalf of debt management professionals, from which it will
receive affiliate remuneration for data collection only and does
not itself engage in any debt management services. Other debt management
options are available and may be more suitable. People entering
into an IVA or debt management will have this entered on their credit
profile and this may affect their ability to get credit in the short
term or even in the long term in some cases. It is free to apply
from this website; you will be given advice by debt management professionals
and a 'cooling off' period, by law, to decide whether or not the
debt management plan is suitable for you, and you should be aware
that a fee will be chargeable upon a successful arrangement, as
with any commercial transaction. Failure to meet the repayments
on an IVA or any debt management programme may result in serious
consequences, including, but not limited to, bankruptcy. Bankruptcies,
CCJs and similar defaults will be entered into a public register
and will remain there for a statutory period of not less than six
(6) years.
