How Does it work?

An IVA is available to people who are struggling with their current unsecured debt repayments, to qualify for an IVA you need to meet the following criteria:

• Three or more creditors
• Over £15,000 worth of unsecured debt
• Problems meeting repayments
• Proof of income

Once the IVA agreement is in place, your creditors must legally stop all further interest and charges on your debts – all letters and phone calls relating to the debts included in the IVA should stop.

As long as you keep to the terms of the IVA agreement any outstanding debts included in the IVA will be written off by your creditors at the end of the term, which is usually 60 months*.
