An IVA (Individual
Voluntary Arrangement) is a form of debt management programme set up
by the government of the day to deal with personal debt and deal generally
with the issue of personal insolvency. Our clients are licenced to give
Individual Voluntary Arrangement advice on the understanding that IVAs
were never designed to be one-size-fits-all remedies to any money problem,
because each individual situation is different. An Individual Voluntary
Arrangement application will begin the process.
A normal Individual
Voluntary Arrangement will run for five years (sometimes less) and after
this completes all debts are cleared from a person's record. During
all this time no banks or debt collectors are permitted to pursue the
debtor in any way. The IVA has the benefits of bankruptcy while having
none of the disadvantages.
An IVA writes off
most of a person's debt at the start of the plan (although beware of
the claims made in some advertising: it is seldom more than 60 or 65%
of total debt which may be cancelled in this way). Any good IVA advice
of this sort will make sure you get the best results with the
lowest monthly repayment options together with the greatest
percentage of debt write-off at the outset.

Voluntary Arrangement application by filling in the form below for impartial

Individual Voluntary Arrangement Application
In order to qualify
for an individual voluntary arrangement the applicant has to be able
to show an income in excess of a certain minimum and have debts with
a total value of not less than a certain sum and not greater than a
certain sum, and such figures will alter from one insolvency company
to another. Usually income must be proved to cover the cost of the calculated
repayments after other necessary bills have been discharged such as
mortgage and utility bills. The usual minimum amount of debt is around
£2,000 although this figure can vary. A maximum threshold of £50,000
is given in a few cases, though by using a third party the client may
be shown best service to handle their individual situation.
A number of disciplines
have developed relating to aspects of insolvencies, and these include
the legal sector as well as more recent professions such as consultants.
All these experts have their own strengths. Each will have their own
area of knowledge and specialisation which you should benefit from to
your advantage. Use of an individual voluntary arrangement will make
your recovery from insolvency much easier and quicker.
Creditors are not
permitted to try to contact the applicant when the individual voluntary
arrangement application comes into force. Creditors are barred from
chasing the debt in any way whatsoever, and if they do they will be
breaching the law and will be subject to quite severe penalties, which
may mean a fine or possibly loss of their licence if they are a debt
purchasing firm or debt collector. The client has this assurance in
law to prevent the telephone calls and non-stop letters these people
use to intimidate their victims.
All governments
attempt to do their best to help people who are suffering from insolvency
in a number of ways. There are government programmes like The diverse
voluntary arrangements to assist in the processes of corporate and personal
debt relief and to relieve what is recognised as being a highly difficult
process, and clearly an individual voluntary arrangement application
is an integral part of the solution. The emphasis tends to be towards
protecting resources wherever possible and in protecting the rights
of individuals using legal measures. This embraces both private wealth
and the security of businesses on which individual security depends.
Most kinds of individual
voluntary arrangement will most often be drafted to run over a period
of 5 years, but sometimes this will vary in each case. At the end of
this period the debt is said to have been discharged and the client
exonerated. All records of the various debts which have hitherto registered
against the applicant's name will be struck from the records.
Our economy is
an extremely complex entity. Economic experts and scientists of all
descriptions want to figure out how it functions on a daily basis. It
resembles a vast computer. It is a matter of contention whether economics
impinges on political and social needs and these are mainly regulated
by the society that we have. Our culture in turn is underpinned by the
need to succeed so that always means risk. For as long as we have this
risk we also have to live with the ghastly spectre of insolvency, both
personal and corporate. Use of an individual voluntary arrangement application
is designed to eliminate this risk to a large extent.
An individual voluntary
arrangement application is an extremely useful legal measure and most
would jump at the chance of getting one as it is legally binding and
discharges the holder from all debts when the term has been concluded.
This is a much more benign solution to an individual's debt problem
than other more draconian measures such as making the debtor bankrupt
and it carries no stigma.
