What is an IVA?
An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is a formal, legally binding agreement to repay what you can afford towards your debts.
You usually make one affordable monthly payment for five or six years. Once you successfully complete the arrangement, any remaining debt included in your IVA is written off.
Once approved, creditors bound by the IVA must follow its terms. Interest and charges on included debts are frozen, and those creditors cannot take recovery action while you comply with the arrangement.
An IVA affects your credit rating and involves fees. If it fails, you could still owe outstanding debts and face bankruptcy.
