Apply For The Best IVA or Debt Relief Plan For Your Own Circumstances
Independent Advice. No Bankruptcy. No loss of Dignity.
An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is a form of debt relief program set up by H. M. Government to provide a solution to personal debt and deal generally with the growing issue of personal insolvency. We are licenced to give IVA advice and do so on the understanding that IVAs were never designed to be one-size-fits-all cures to any money problem, as individual circumstances can vary so much.
The needs of one household or one individual may vary greatly from the needs of another person. When you apply for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement any advice given must reflect the uniqueness of the situation people find themselves in.
A normal IVA will be set to run for sixty months and when this completes all the debts are discharged from a person's credit record. During the time of the IVA banks or debt collectors are not permitted to contact the debtor. The IVA has all the benefits of bankruptcy while having none of the drawbacks.
An IVA writes off the bulk of your debt at the beginning of the programme (although beware of the claims in some advertising: it is rarely much more than 60 or 65 percent of unsecured debt which can be cancelled in this way). All good IVA advice will ensure that you get optimum results with the lowest repayment options together with the greatest percentage of debt written off at the outset.
So fill in the application form below for impartial advice for your own situation.

Apply For an Individual Voluntary Arrangement
An Individual Voluntary Arrangement will generally be prepared by a specialist and qualified insolvency practitioner and will be drafted specifically to match the specific requirements. There is no typical approach to these processes as each situation is different to the next, while some are considerably different. The selected insolvency practitioner will now prepare the optimum features according to the client's own individual circumstances and ratify a programme of payments to creditors and this is usually over 5 years, although in some cases this may change.
Creditors are barred from contacting the applicant once the Individual Voluntary Arrangement has been decreed. The creditors are barred from chasing the debt in any way, and if they do they will be committing a felony and will be subject to quite severe penalties, including a fine or even loss of their licence to trade if they are a debt purchasing firm. The client always has this guarantee against the unwanted telephone calls and non-stop letters these companies use to intimidate their prey.
A distinct advantage of an arrangement like this is that it will immediately reduce the debt by a massive proportion. Normally this is as high as 60 percent, sometimes more than that. This reduction of debt makes a huge difference and is one of the many things which distinguishes this from an otherwise conventional management program. So folk seeking these debt reduction programmes would be best advised to apply for this rather than a standard debt relief program.
To apply for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement is a useful legal measure and many people would jump at the chance of getting one as it is sanctioned by law and discharges the holder from all debts when the term has been concluded. It is a much more gentle response to an individual's debt problem than other sterner measures like bankruptcy and it carries none of bankruptcy's stigma.
A number of disciplines have emerged surrounding aspects of insolvency, and these encompass the legal profession and newer professions including such diverse types as IP consultants. Such experts have their own strengths. Each will have their own area of knowledge and expertise which you should use as appropriate. Making use of an Individual Voluntary Arrangement will ensure the turnaround from insolvency is much easier.
In order to apply for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement the applicant has to be able to demonstrate a nett income in excess of a certain minimum and have arrears of more than a specified amount and not greater than a specified maxima, and these values will change from one insolvency practitioner to the next. Normally the income must be proved to cover the cost of the repayments after other necessary outgoings have been paid such as the mortgage and council tax. The typical minumum amount of debt is around £2,000 although this figure may vary. A maximum threshold of £50,000 is sometimes given, though by going through a broker or intermediary the applicant will be directed to appropriate service to deal with their own individual situation.
Most sorts of Individual Voluntary Arrangement will normally be drafted to run for sixty months, but sometimes this will vary from case to case. When the agreed period is over the debt is said to be discharged and the client exonerated. Any debt records which have hitherto been registered corresponding to the applicant's name and address will be struck from the record accordingly.
