Debt Solutions

Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)

An IVA is a formal solution that may help you resolve your debt problems. This is typically a 5 year plan that entitles you to pay one affordable payment each month back to your creditors. We have broken down below the advantages and disadvantages of an IVA.

One Monthly Payment
Wrap all your unsecured creditor repayments into one
Write off up to 85% of your debt
Providing you keep up with your affordable payment for the duration of the plan, any debt included in the IVA will be written off
100% Legal Protection
We understand how stressful the harassment from creditors can be, an IVA will provide you with complete protection. Your creditors will not legally be able to contact again aside from annual statements
Interest and Charges
All interest and charges currently being added to your debt will be automatically frozen if the IVA is approved
Credit rating can be effected
An IVA will stay on your credit file for 6 years
Insolvency Register
Your details will be added to the Individual Insolvency Register
Failure of IVA
If your IVA fails, you could be subject to bankruptcy
Creditor Rejection
For an IVA to be approved you need 75% of your creditors, in value, to accept it
Homeowners
1. homeowners may need to release equity from the value of their homes to pay off debts, and that a remortgage may attract higher interest rates or, if no remortgage is available, an individual voluntary arrangement may be extended for 12 months; 2. there are restrictions on the expenditure of a person who enters into an individual voluntary arrangement
Debt Management Plan (DMP)

A Debt Management Plan is an informal solution that offers a number of benefits to help manage your debt. See below the advantages and disadvantages of this solution:

One Monthly Payment
Wrap all your unsecured creditor repayments into one
Reduce Creditor Contact
Although a DMP can't guarantee protection from creditors it will take away a large amount of the contact you'll receive
Interest and Charges
Again a DMP can't guarantee to stop the interest and charges however in many cases these can be frozen
Credit Rating
As you are reducing your payments to your creditors, your credit rating may still be affected
Debt Duration
Due to the lower amount you're paying back to your debts, you may find it very difficult to become debt free for a long period of time
Your Home
Your home and assets are not protected from creditors
