What is an IVA
An IVA is a legally-binding agreement between the person in debt and their creditors, designed to help the debtor pay off the money they owe with fixed, monthly payments over a period of around five years.
- Conditions of eligibility include:
- Minimum of £20,000 unsecured debt (e.g. credit cards, personal loans)
- Money owed to three or more creditors
- Being resident in England or Wales
- Being employed, or self-employed, dependent upon other assets
How IVAs Possibly Differ from Bankruptcy
An IVA is different from bankruptcy in a number of ways.
IVAs generally:
- Stop all interest on the debt
- Do not stop you from being a director of a company
- Do not require court action
- Carry less social stigma than bankruptcy
