An IVA (Individual
Voluntary Arrangement) is a form of debt management programme set up
by H M Government to try to eliminate personal debt and deal with the
growing issue of individual insolvency. Our clients are licenced to
give debt consolidation information and advice on the basis that Individual
voluntary arrangements are never one-size-fits-all solutions to any
problem with money, because each person's situation is different.
The needs of one
person can vary greatly from the needs of the next. Any debt consildation
information and advice given must thus reflect the unique nature of
the situation in which people find themselves.
Generally an IVA will run for 60 months and after the
term has finished all the debts are discharged from a person's credit
history. During this time no banks are allowed to harass or pursue the
debtor. The IVA has all the benefits of sequestration while having none
of the drawbacks.
An IVA writes off
the bulk of a person's debt at the beginning of the plan (although beware
of the exaggerated claims made in some advertising and with some misleading
debt consolidation information: it is seldom much more than 60 or 65%
of total debt which can be 'written off'). Any good IVA advice of this
sort will ensure you get optimum results with the lowest monthly repayment
options together with the greatest percentage of debt write-off.
So complete the
application form for independent and impartial debt consolidation
information and advice which is right for your own situation.

Debt Consolidation Information
Debt consolidation
information will in general be sought by a qualified specialist insolvency
practitioner and the resulting IVA or similar plan will be made specifically
to address the specific requirements of the client. There is no such
thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to these processes because all
situations are different to the next, while some circumstances are exceptionally
different. The insolvency practitioner will draw up the most advantageous
blueprint for the client's individual situation and ratify a schedule
of payments to a central fund which is typically over sixty months,
though in some circumstances this may be varied.
Most sorts of debt
consolidation information will usually be drafted to last over a period
of 5 years, but often this will vary in each case. At the end of the
agreed term the debt is said to have been paid off in full and the client
exonerated. Any records of the debts which have hitherto been registered
corresponding to the client's name and address will be cleared from
the record by authority of the law.
One chief advantage
of an agreement like this is that it will instantly diminish the debt
burden by a fair amount. Normally this is as high as sixty per cent,
even more. This great reduction of debt burden makes a huge difference
and is one of the many things which distinguishes an IVA from an otherwise
regular debt management program. Therefore people seeking debt relief
should apply for that rather than a standard debt relief programme every
time.
A number of disciplines
have grown up surrounding various aspects of failure, and these encompass
the legal sector and more recent professions including IP consultants.
Such experts have their part to play. Each one will have their own area
of specialisation which you should make use of to your best advantage.
Making use of debt consolidation information should ensure your recovery
is much quicker and easier.
In order to be
eligible for an IVA or similar plan as a result of debt consolidation
information, the client must have a net income in excess of a certain
minimum and have debts of more than a certain amount and not more than
a specified maxima, and these values may alter from one insolvency company
to another. Normally the income should exceed the calculated repayments
after other necessary bills have been discharged including the mortgage
and council tax and utility bills. The average minimal debt is around
£2,000 although this figure can vary. A maximum of £50,000 is sometimes
imposed, though by going through a third party the client may be shown
best source to handle their own circumstances.
All governments
attempt to do their best to give some help to people who suffer from
debt in various ways. There are schemes like CVAs and IVAs to facilitate
the methods of both personal and corporate debt recovery and to try
to soothe what is recognised as being a difficult time, and debt consolidation
information is part of this. The outcome is intended to be toward safeguarding
personal resources if at all possible and in safeguarding the wealth
of individuals by legal means. This embraces both private property and
the security of businesses on which individual security depends.
