An IVA (Individual
Voluntary Arrangement) is a form of debt management plan set up by the
government to deal with personal debt and to deal generally with the
issue of personal insolvency. Our clients are IVA experts and are licenced
to give Individual Voluntary Arrangement advice and do so on the basis
of the fact that Individual voluntary arrangements can never be one-size-fits-all
fixes to any financial problem, because each person's circumstances
are different.
A normal IVA will run for sixty months and when the
term has finished all the debt is discharged from a person's credit
profile. During this time banks are not permitted to harass or pursue
the debtor in any way. The IVA has the advantages of bankruptcy and
none of the drawbacks.
An instrument such
as this writes off the larger part of a person's debt at the start of
the programme (although beware of the exaggerated claims in some advertising:
it is seldom more than 60 or 65 per cent of unsecured debt which can
be cancelled). Any decent IVA expert advice will make sure that you
get the best results with the lowest repayments together
with the highest percentage of debt written off at
the outset.
So complete the
application form for impartial and independent expert IVA advice
for your own personal situation.

IVA Expert
An IVA expert is
a very useful ally and many people would jump at the chance of taking
out an IVA as it is bound in law and discharges the holder from all
debts at the end of the term. It is a more gentle answer to personal
debt than other sterner measures like bankruptcy and carries none of
bankruptcy's stigma.
Governments generally
attempt to help folk who have suffered from insolvency in one way or
another. There are recognised schemes like The diverse individual and
corporate voluntary arrangements to take care of the procedures of personal
and corporate insolvency and to ease what is always a difficult time,
and an IVA expert is part of this. The object of this is meant to be
towards safeguarding personal possessions wherever possible and also
in protecting the property of individuals using legal instruments. This
embraces individual assets and the wealth of corporations.
Most types of IVA
will normally be made to run for sixty months, but often this will vary
according to individual circumstances. At the end of the agreed term
the debt is said to be discharged and the client discharged. Any records
of the debts which have been registered corresponding to the applicant's
name shall be cleared from the records by authority of the law.
One major advantage
of an arrangement of this kind is that it may instantly cut thedebt
by a massive proportion. Normally this is as high as 60%, often even
more. This vast reduction in debt burden makes a considerable difference
and is the main thing which distinguishes an IVA from an otherwise normal
debt relief plan. Therefore anyone looking for debt relief should apply
for this over a standard debt relief programme every time.
Our economy is
a very complex entity. Expert economists and scientists of all descriptions
try to understand how the whole thing works on an ongoing basis. It
has been compared to a vast machine. Inevitably day to day economics
impinges upon political and social needs and such things are chiefly
governed by the society that we live in. Our community in turn is geared
towards the need to succeed ensuring generally means risk. As long as
we have this insidious aspect of risk we have also the terrible spectre
of debt, both corporate and personal. Using an IVA expert is meant to
offset this risk somewhat.
In order to be
eligible for an IVA, the client must show proof of earnings which is
in excess of a threshold amount and have arrears of more than a specified
sum and no greater than a certain sum, and these figures may change
from one insolvency company to another. Normally the income must be
demonstrated to cover the cost of the repayments after other necessary
bills have been paid including the mortgage and council tax. The average
minimum amount of debt is around £2,000 although this can vary. A maximum
threshold of £50,000 is sometimes given, although by using a broker
or intermediary the applicant will be steered to best service to handle
their own individual situation.
An Individual Voluntary
Arrangement will be typically drawn up by an IVA expert or insolvency
practitioner and will be drafted specifically to address the specific
requirements. There is no typical method to such things as all circumstances
differ, while some situations differ considerably. The selected insolvency
practitioner will then prepare the best programme for the client's own
individual circumstances and draw up a schedule of repayments and this
is usually over five years, although in certain circumstances this can
differ.
