An IVA is one of
a number of debt consolidation solutions set up by H. M. Government
to try to eliminate personal debt and to deal generally with the issue
of individual insolvency. Our clients are licenced to give advice on
the basis that debt consolidation solutions are not designed to be one-size-fits-all
fixes to any money problem, because each person's situation is so different.
Generally an Individual
Voluntary Arrangement will be set to run for sixty months and when the
term is over all the debts are discharged from a person's credit history.
During this time banks or debt collectors are not allowed to harass
the debtor in any way. The IVA has all the advantages of bankruptcy
and none of the drawbacks of other debt consolidation solutions.
An IVA writes off
the bulk of your debt at the beginning of the programme (although be
wary of the exaggerated claims made in some advertising: it is rarely
more than 60 or 65% of unsecured debt which may be 'written off' in
this way). All good IVA advice of this sort will make sure you get the
best results with the lowest repayment options together
with the greatest percentage of debt written off at the outset. Other
debt consolidation solutions such as conventional debt management plans
do not offer such an attractive proposition.
So fill in the application
form below for independent and impartial advice which is right for your
own personal circumstances.

Debt Consolidation Solutions
Our economy is
an extremely complicated thing. Economic experts and specialists of
all descriptions are trying to figure out how the whole thing operates
every day of the week. It resembles a massive machine. At the end of
the day economics has an effect on social and political imperatives
and these are chiefly regulated by the kind of society in which we live.
Our society at present is calibrated towards the need for success ensuring
that often means risk. For as long as we have this risk we have also
to live with the ghastly spectre of financial ruin, personal and corporate.
Using debt consolidation solutions is designed to alleviate this to
a certain extent.
A number of disciplines
have developed surrounding aspects of insolvency, and these encompass
the legal sector and more recent professions including but not limited
to consultants. All these experts should be used to their best effect.
Each one will have a different area of knowledge and specialisation
which you should benefit from as appropriate. Making use of debt consolidation
solutions will make recovery from debt much quicker and easier.
One major benefit
of an arrangement of this sort is that it will immediately reduce your
debt burden by a large amount. Normally this is as high as 60 percent,
sometimes more. This huge reduction in the amount of debt makes a considerable
difference and is the main thing which distinguishes an IVA from an
otherwise regular debt management program. So people looking for such
debt reduction programmes would be best advised to apply for this rather
than a standard debt relief program on all occasions.
Most types of debt
consolidation solution IVA will normally be drawn up to run for 60 months,
although all too often this will vary from case to case. At the end
of the term the debt is considered to be discharged and the applicant
exonerated. All records of the various debts registered corresponding
to the applicant's name and address must be struck from the record by
authority of the law.
In order to qualify
for debt consolidation solutions such as an IVA, the applicant has to
be able to demonstrate an income which is in excess of a certain minimum
and have debts with a total value of not less than a specified amount
and no greater than a certain sum, and such figures will alter from
one insolvency firm to another. Usually income should be proved to cover
the cost of the calculated repayments after other bills have been paid
such as the mortgage and council tax and utility bills. The average
minimum debt is around £2,000 though this can vary. A maximum threshold
of £50,000 is sometimes imposed, although by going through a third party
the applicant will be directed to appropriate source of help to look
after their own particular situation.
All governments
attempt to give some help to people who are suffering from insolvency
in one way or another. There are recognised initiatives like The diverse
individual and corporate voluntary arrangements to take care of the
methods of both corporate and personal debt relief and to ease what
is always a highly difficult procedure, and clearly debt consolidation
solutions are an integral part of the solution. The object of this tends
to be towards protecting personal assets if at all possible and in safeguarding
the property of individuals by legal means. This would apply to private
assets and the wealth of businesses.
