- Legally binding agreement, so creditors cannot change their mind once the IVA has been accepted.
- Interest and charges are frozen.
- Reduced payment which is based on your disposable income.
- No need to make multiple payments to multiple creditors.
- Private agreement, so it won't be published in your local paper and it should not hinder your future career prospects or current job.
IVA Cons
- Your creditors must agree to the IVA before it can be accepted.
- The IVA will appear on your credit file.
- Failure to keep to your repayments mean that creditors may start Bankruptcy proceedings against you.
- You may have to release some equity in your home.
An IVA is for unsecured debts only, and should only be considered in extreme circumstances as failure to adhere could result in bankruptcy. Debt write off applies only where the IVA is agreed by your creditors and you have completed the, typically, 60 month term. Once your IVA commences, your monthly contribution is fixed and that is all you have to pay. There are no additional fees on top. Our fees, paid by your creditors, are taken out of your monthly contributions to your IVA and will be notified to you in advance. Some homeowners may be required to remortgage. Terms & Conditions Apply.
