If
you have a serious debt problem, you may be eligible for
what is known as an IVA (Individual Voluntary
Arrangement).
The IVA was introduced
by the government in 1986 and enables a person in debt to make
a proposal to the people they owe money to in order to reach a
settlement.
With an IVA you form a legally binding agreement with your creditors (people you owe money to)
to pay only what you can afford. You agree to make a single
affordable payment each month over a five year period, with
your creditors agreeing to write off as much as 75% of your
debt. |
