How does an IVA work

How does an IVA work

It is important to understand how an IVA works especially if you, or someone you know, are considering applying for an IVA to become debt free.

So, how does an IVA work?

An IVA works by setting up a new agreement between a person with debts over £12,000 and their creditors.

All the debtor’s monthly debt repayments are replaced with one new IVA repayment.

The new IVA payment is based on affordability, and not based on what your creditors think you should be paying.

Once the IVA has been agreed at the creditors meeting, the IVA becomes legally binding on everybody named in the agreement.

Unlike other Debt Management Plans (DMPs), an IVA works on a fixed 5 year repayment time period.

This means that you will not necessarily be able to repay your full debt within this time period.

Consequently any money that has not actually been repaid by the time the IVA reaches the end of the fixed 5 year time period will be legally written off by your creditors.

So there you have it…..

An IVA is a new agreement between you and your creditors, that lasts for 5 years, allows you to repay what you can afford and legally writes off any money that hasn’t been repaid at the end of the agreement.
