What is an IVA

An IVA is a legally-binding agreement between the person in debt and their creditors, designed to help the debtor pay off the money they owe with fixed, monthly payments over a period of around five years.

  • Conditions of eligibility include:
  • Minimum of £20,000 unsecured debt (e.g. credit cards, personal loans)
  • Money owed to three or more creditors
  • Being resident in England or Wales
  • Being employed, or self-employed, dependent upon other assets

How IVAs Possibly Differ from Bankruptcy

An IVA is different from bankruptcy in a number of ways.

IVAs generally:

  • Stop all interest on the debt
  • Do not stop you from being a director of a company
  • Do not require court action
  • Carry less social stigma than bankruptcy
