If you’re struggling with unmanageable debt and can’t see a way of ever paying it back, one option is an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement). It’s a legally-binding debt solution in which you’ll repay as much of your unsecured debt as you can afford over an agreed period of time, after which the rest of your debt will be written off.

How an IVA works

People with very huge amount of debt owing to more than 3 creditors are eligible for applying individual voluntary agreement. Individual voluntary agreement is just an agreement which is agreed between the debtor, who finds it very difficult to manage his huge monthly repayments and the creditors, who offered money to their debtor. Once you have obtained your individual voluntary agreement then you have about 60 months [5 years] to repay all you debt. The amount that you need to repay every month will be calculated depending on your family circumstances and other factors that affect you from paying monthly repayments. After the IVA period the debtor is obviously free of all his debts. Though he has not repaid the exact amount that he borrowed, his creditor will offer a write up that there are not pending unpaid debts with that particular debtor. In this way an IVA will be very helpful for you to pay back all your debts without any problems. Also you may feel very free every month since you are going to pay only a calculated and affordable small amount to the creditors.
