IVAs are essentially a way to  renegotiate your current credit agreements for unsecured personal debt.  Instead of your unmanageable agreements as they stand, with an IVA you  are proposing to make payments according to an alternative plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"346\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_58040154_XS.jpg\" alt=\"IVA and Creditors\" class=\"wp-image-4450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_58040154_XS.jpg 346w, https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_58040154_XS-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_58040154_XS-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 346px) 100vw, 346px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Your IVA proposal will outline what you are proposing to pay to your \ncreditors over a specified period. This amount may well add up to less \nthan what you owe them in the current state of affairs, but the \ncreditors realise that they may receive even less if you end up becoming\n bankrupt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the IVA period is over, and providing you have kept to your part\n of the agreement, your creditors are legally obliged to consider your \ndebts settled. This means that throughout the IVA term, you know that \nthe payments you are making are actually reducing your debt, working \ntowards it being cleared at the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit during the IVA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the IVA is running, you will not be allowed to get any other \ncredit. This gives you the best possible chance of clearing those debts \nthat are covered by the IVA, and you are supposed to pay as much as you \ncan reasonably manage during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit after the IVA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the IVA is finished, you will be able to seek credit again, and \ncan get to work on improving your credit rating. The IVA prevents those \nincluded creditors from taking any legal action against you either \nduring or after the IVA term. This means that you don\u2019t have to worry \nabout court action or CCJs on the debts that your IVA covers, providing \nyou manage the IVA properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>IVAs are a good option in terms of future credit. As long as you \nget the right agreement, you really can look forward to being debt free \nin the future.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once the IVA is finished, you will be able to seek credit again, and can get to work on improving your credit rating.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-iva-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4437"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4437\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4451,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4437\/revisions\/4451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
