Individual Voluntary Agreements - IVAs

An IVA can be a great solution to help serious debt problems, and a genuine alternative to bankruptcy

Individual Voluntary Agreements are designed for people who would otherwise have no choice but declaring bankruptcy. Since they were introduced in 1986 as part of the Insolvency Act, they have become a widely utilised solution for people to solve their debt problems.

How do IVA's work?

An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is an agreement with your creditors to repay all or part of your debts. You agree to make regular payments to an insolvency practitioner, who then divides the money between your creditors. An IVA can give you more control of your assets than declaring bankruptcy.

An IVA agreement is typically arranged over five years. However, in some cases the IVA may involve making a one off lump sum payment to your creditors, usually raised from assets such as equity in your home. If the payments you make aren’t enough to pay your debts in full by the end of your IVA, you won’t have to pay the rest. In all cases we will carry out an assessment of your finances and recommend what will be the best option for you.

Benefits Of An IVA

Some of the benefits of an IVA agreement are:

  • It is legally binding - your creditors have to stick to it and can't chase you for the debt once the IVA agreement is in place.
  • It is time limited and you only have to make repayments while the IVA is in place
  • Creditors usually accept you'll only pay part of the debt

An IVA might help you if:

  • Your debts total more than £10,000 - you can get an IVA if you owe less, but due to the fees, there might be better options.
  • You have 2 or more creditors
  • You don't want to deal with your creditors directly
  • you have enough money to make IVA payments every month. We can advise you on all aspects of IVA help.

An IVA can be flexible - if you don't meet all of these criteria, you might still be able to get an IVA. View our IVA page for more information

Declaring Bankruptcy

Before the introduction of IVAs , Bankruptcy was often the only option available to those with serious debt problems.

Declaring Bankruptcy typically means being discharged from your unsecured debt (apart from Student Loans) and in twelve months, you can start afresh. However, it is possible that you must pay a proportion of your disposable income each month (known as an Income Payments Agreement), when entered into voluntarily, or an Income Payments Order, (when obtained from a court by the Official Receiver or Trustee) for a period of up to three years.

Declaring Bankruptcy has a number of serious legal and professional implications which must be considered before any decision is made. For example, you are unable to work in some types of jobs as an undischarged Bankrupt. Learn more about filing for bankruptcy in the UK in our bankruptcy section.

You can sometimes be forced into bankruptcy if your debts are over £5,000 and you have frequently missed payments, or if you have broken the terms of an IVA agreement. Some people choose to declare bankruptcy themselves but you need to explore all other options very carefully first.

Debt Consolidation Loans

Debt consolidation is the process whereby a single, larger loan is taken out to pay off multiple smaller debts.

This can either be through secured borrowing against an asset, such as a property, or through further unsecured borrowing (which tends to be more expensive). The rationale behind consolidating debts is to secure a lower rate of interest, so that the borrower has only one, lower monthly repayment to make.

However, if you are considering this kind of Debt management plan, you need to make sure that you are comfortable, not only with the monthly repayments, but also with the repayment term (which will typically be longer than your existing credit commitments) and the total amount that you’ll be paying back (which will be more than the amount you currently owe). Generally, consolidation loans should only be considered by people with good credit histories and a relatively high proportion of high interest debt (such as store and credit cards).
