'IVA' is the shortened form for Individual Voluntary Arrangements. If you have a massive amount of debt that you have to repay and the people you owe are bullying you to repay or go to court, then there are two options available to you. You can either submit an application for insolvency, or apply for IVA. Declaring insolvency can be very stressful and the creditors will take over your assets and sell them. This would result in you losing your home, car, and any other assets that you have. You could virtually end up on the streets. If you try for an IVA, this is how it will work: If your IVA application is passed, the firm via which you apply for an IVA will send paperwork to be completed and returned to them. Then they will ask you to come in for a meeting and go over the application with you. If they think that your debts can be repaid without you having to sell your assets through a debt repayment program they will apply for processing your IVA application. After the IVA application is accepted, a meeting of all the creditors will be summoned. This will occur about 2 to 3 weeks time after they receive your application. In the meeting, the creditors will have to finalize the repayment plan. If 75% of the creditors are in favour of accepting the terms and conditions of the IVA the others will be obligated to accept them. Now after the acceptance, the company or person who has negotiated the repayment plan will be the guarantor of the agreement. So, rather than making various payments to all the creditors, there is just one payment that will be paid each month. The benefit of getting an IVA is that it protects your assets from being sold or taken away from you if you are a partner in a firm or a sole proprietor or a working person, you can carry on your work without any disturbance. Also, you get clear of all the creditors' bullying and visits. Hopefully, when you finish your term you will have paid off your debts and retained your assets. An IVA is a better solution than going bankrupt or playing a balancing act between creditors. Another benefit, and perhaps the biggest, is that the increase in repayment amounts stops. This means that no further interest is accrued towards you. In some cases, a good IVA handling firm might be able to get your debts reduced. You may also be able to apply for a fresh mortgage while repaying an IVA. Also, the biggest advantage is that you will not lose your house or any other assets. If your income increases drastically, the IVA may renegotiate with the creditors and get the repayment schedule reduced, and in case it drops it may get extended. So, no matter which way your income fluctuates your debts will remain the same. There are great advantages to getting an IVA, especially if one has accrued a lot of debt and has creditors disturbing them. The first advantage being that you don't have to close your business, secondly you don't lose anything, and thirdly there is just one monthly payment that is to be made. Furthermore, in a few years you will be free of all your debts. About the Author: Choosing an iva is a crucial first step and one that should not be made lightly.
