Well the  simple answer is that it depends. A qualified Debt Advisor or Insolvency Practitioner is the person best placed to advise you on what your options are if you find you\u2019re going  to be unable to meet the terms of your debts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>What options are best in any one case will depend on a number of  factors. What your <strong>income<\/strong> is will naturally be one of the most important  of those factors, as will your <strong>expenses<\/strong> other than the debts you\u2019re  most concerned about. What assets you have will also be an important element in working out how best to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will generally have more control over what happens to your assets  if you use an IVA than if you, for example, become bankrupt. What you want to happen in terms of your assets is something you should also discuss with an Insolvency Practitioner if you\u2019re considering an IVA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"849\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fotolia_56495696_S.jpg\" alt=\"Is an IVA right for me?\" class=\"wp-image-3215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fotolia_56495696_S.jpg 849w, https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fotolia_56495696_S-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Fotolia_56495696_S-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 849px) 100vw, 849px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What an IVA gives you is basically a more manageable way to pay back  your debts. Stories of people having their debts \u2018written off\u2019 are often  exaggerated but in some cases creditors will indeed write part of the debts off when you go for an IVA. Often an IVA will mean that your debts are effectively frozen and stop accruing interest for the duration of  the agreement. This should give you a much better chance of actually  managing to pay the debts off  within a stated time frame and get yourself into better financial shape in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An IVA is a useful debt solution to avoid bankruptcy, and if the agreement is  sensibly drawn up and met by all parties, it can be a great way to get  on top of your financial troubles. However, it\u2019s best to get sound advice from an expert before taking any decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fill in the form below if you would like to find out if an IVA is your best option.
