A debt management
IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is a debt relief program set
up to deal with personal debt and to deal generally with the growing
issue of individual insolvency. Our clients are licenced to give IVA
advice and do so on the basis of the fact that Individual voluntary
arrangements are not one-size-fits-all quick fixes to any problem with
money, as individual circumstances are different.
The needs of one
household or one individual can be vastly different from the needs of
another person. Any advice given concerning a debt management IVA must
reflect the unique nature of the situation in which people find themselves.
In general an Individual
Voluntary Arrangement will be set to run for sixty months and when the
term has finished all the debts are discharged from a person's credit
profile. During this time no creditors are permitted to contact the
debtor. The debt management IVA has the benefits of bankruptcy while
having none of the drawbacks.
A debt management
IVA will write off the bulk of your debt at the start of the plan (although
beware of the claims in some advertising: it is rarely much more than
60 or 65 percent of total unsecured debt which can be 'written off'
in this way). Any good IVA advice of this sort will ensure that you
get the best results with the lowest repayment options together
with the greatest percentage of debt written off.

Debt Management IVA
A debt management
IVA will in general be drawn up by a qualified insolvency practitioner
and shall be made specifically to match the specific requirements of
the client. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all method to
such things as all situations are different to the next, and some circumstances
differ considerably. The insolvency practitioner will now prepare the
best blueprint for the applicant's individual situation and then ratify
a plan of repayments to a central fund usually for sixty months, although
in some situations this may change.
In order to be
suitable for a debt management IVA the client must be able to demonstrate
a nett income which is in excess of a stated minimum and have debts
with a total value of not less than a certain amount and not greater
than a specified maxima, and such figures may alter from one insolvency
practitioner to the next. Normally income should exceed these repayments
after other necessary outgoings have been met including mortgage payments
and council tax and utility bills. The usual minimal amount of personal
debt is around £2,000 although this can vary. A ceiling of £50,000 is
sometimes stated, although by going through a third party the client
may be steered to appropriate source to look after their own particular
situation.
The client's creditors
are not permitted to get in touch with the applicant when the debt management
IVA is set in force. The creditors are barred from chasing up the debt
in any way, and if they do so they will be committing a felony and may
be penalized, which may include a fine or even taking away their licence
if they are a debt collecting firm. The client has this assurance against
the unwanted phone calls and other intrusive means that these companies
use in order to harass their prey.
A number of disciplines
have grown up relating to insolvencies, and these encompass the law
as well as more recent professions like consultants. All these experts
have their part to play. Each one will have a different area of knowledge
and expertise which you should use to your advantage. Making use of
a debt management IVA will ensure the turnaround from insolvency is
easier and quicker.
One chief benefit
of an agreement of this kind is that it will immediately diminish the
debt by a massive proportion. Usually this can be as high as 60 percent,
sometimes more than that. This great cut in the amount of debt makes
a huge difference and is the main thing which differentiates this from
an otherwise regular debt relief program. So anyone seeking help for
debt relief would be best advised to apply for this over a standard
debt relief program.
Governments generally
attempt to do their best to help people who have become insolvent in
a number of ways. There are government programmes like The various voluntary
arrangements to take care of the processes of corporate and personal
debt recovery and to relieve what is recognised as being a difficult
time, and clearly a debt management IVA is part of the solution. The
object is meant to be toward safeguarding personal possessions where
possible and in protecting the property of petitioners by using statutory
measures. This takes into account both private property and also the
assets of corporations.
Most sorts of debt
management IVA will be drawn up to last over a period of 5 years, but
all too often this will vary from case to case. At the end of the term
the debt is considered paid off and the client exonerated. Any records
of the debts which have been registered against the applicant's name
and address will be struck from the credit records as appropriate.
