An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is an alternative to bankruptcy and could see you
debt free in 5 years time.
To qualify for an IVA you will owe at least £15,000, as unsecured debt, to 3 separate companies. It is a legally binding agreement between you and the lenders that you owe money to.
Your creditors will agree to a monthly payment (lower than what you are currently paying) for the next 5 years – then your debt will be written off. They will not chase you for extra money in this period and cannot make you bankrupt.
An IVA should not be entered into lightly but is an often preferred alternative to that of being declared bankrupt.
