A Voluntary
Debt Agreement is another term for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement,
also known as an IVA.
A Voluntary Debt
Agreement brings about an end to your debt worries by being able to
write off a huge percentage of your debt immediately and at one stroke.
The remainder is repaid according to how much you can manage and is
always calculated to be easily affordable. These are then repaid monthly
in smaller chunks until the debt is cleared completely. And all without
the hassle and long-term horrors of a 'consolidation' loan.
A Voluntary Debt
Agreement is made to your specific needs and circumstances. Such debt
relief programmes are usually worked out by an Insolvency Practitioner
who is a qualified professional working in the area of personal debt
and insolvency. Each situation is different - sometimes very different
- and so the type of repayment schedule (and the percentage of debt
written off) will always be the one which is made for you.
To qualify for a
Voluntary Debt Agreement you have to meet certain requirements relating
to income and expenditure. This will vary depending on which insolvency
specialist you use, which is why our whole-of-market approach works
so well: we will always match you up with the programme and repayment
schedule which meets your own circumstances and requirements.
To apply for a Voluntary
Debt Agreement, without obligation, or to see if you are eligible for
one, use the 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

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.
