Bankruptcy offers (like Debt Management and IVA) relief of dealing with numerous creditors and they are forced to recognise that they will receive less money that is actually owed.
When comparing an IVA with Bankruptcy you will generally pay back less with Bankruptcy – this shouldn’t sway your decision between the 2 options however and you should seek advice on the best route for you.
Once the bankruptcy period is over and you are discharged from bankruptcy most
debts will be written off and you will no longer be chased for them.
Bankruptcy will affect your ability to borrow in the future as you are likely to have to declare that you were a previous bankrupt when applying for finance – hence the reason other options are normally explored first.
