What is an IVA?

An IVA is a formal debt solution for people with unsecured debts they are struggling to maintain, that want or need to avoid being declared bankrupt by their creditors.

During the IVA you make one affordable monthly payment typically for 60 months. At the end of the term any debt you still owe are written off.

An IVA is a legally binding agreement so once entered, your creditors can’t back out or change the terms after they agree to them.

Please note entering into an IVA will affect your credit rating for 72 months

Some of the things the lenders will have to abide by are the following:

  • To write off any debt included in the IVA at the end of the term
  • They must freeze the interest and charges on any debt
  • They should stop contacting you for payments
