The IVA, or Individual Voluntary Arrangement, came in with the Insolvency Act of 1986 and is an agreement with your creditors to pay a reasonable amount each month, usually for 60 months. After this time, you’re debt free, whether you’ve paid off the whole debt or not. They’re legally binding, which means you and your creditors both know where you stand.

To qualify, you need at least £15,000 of unsecured debt and more than one creditor. IVAs aren’t available in Scotland, where they have something similar called a Trust Deed. You’ll have to prove that you’re unable to keep up with your debt repayments; it’s not just a way to dodge paying off your debt in full.
If you’re a homeowner, you’re home isn’t at risk as long as you keep to the repayment plan. However, you might have to give up some of the equity in your property to service the debt.
An IVA must be overseen by an Insolvency Practitioner who is licensed to deal with insolvency procedures. They are the only ones that can propose or administer an IVA.
The IVA is based on detailed information about your assets, your income and your usual monthly expenditure. You’ll need to provide the Insolvency Practitioner with evidence of all of these things so you’ll need to give them payslips, bills and maybe even a valuation of your property.
If you satisfactorily complete all of your repayments and uphold the points outlined in your IVA proposal, you’ll be debt free and your creditors can make no further claim against you.
