An explanation of Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA) and their role in debt resolution.

Introduction

Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVA) have become an increasingly popular debt resolution option for many people in the UK. In this blog post, we’ll explain what an IVA is, how it works, and how partnering with SortMyCash and Debt Guardians can help you manage your debt more effectively.

What is an IVA?

An IVA is a legally binding agreement between you and your creditors that allows you to repay a portion of your unsecured debts over a fixed period, typically five to six years. Once the IVA term is complete, any remaining debt is written off, giving you a fresh start financially.

How Does an IVA Work?

  1. Assessment: The first step in setting up an IVA is a thorough assessment of your financial situation by a licensed insolvency practitioner (IP). This helps determine if an IVA is the most suitable solution for your circumstances.
  2. Proposal: If an IVA is deemed appropriate, the IP will help you draft a proposal outlining your repayment plan. This is submitted to your creditors for approval.
  3. Approval: Creditors holding at least 75% of your debt value must vote in favour of the proposal for the IVA to be approved.
  4. Supervision: Once approved, the IP will supervise the IVA, ensuring you make the agreed payments and distributing them to your creditors.
  5. Completion: After making all the required payments, your IVA will be completed, and any remaining debt will be written off.

Benefits of an IVA

  1. Manageable payments: IVAs consolidate your debts into a single, affordable monthly payment, making it easier to manage your finances.
  2. Interest freeze: Once an IVA is in place, interest and charges on your debts are frozen, preventing them from increasing.
  3. Legal protection: An IVA provides legal protection from your creditors, stopping them from taking further action against you.
  4. Debt write-off: Upon completion of your IVA, any remaining debt is written off.
