This is partly because\n there are no statutory costs for IVAs. The main costs you can expect to\n have to cover for an IVA are those chargeable by the Insolvency \nPractitioner (IP) who handles your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_14537413_S.jpg\" alt=\"Insolvency Practitioner\" class=\"wp-image-9505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_14537413_S.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_14537413_S-256x300.jpg 256w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to get an IVA, you need to use an IP, as they are the only \nprofessionals licensed to carry out the required processes within the UK\n legal system. An IVA is a legal contract between you and your \ncreditors, and so must be handled by someone with the required expertise\n and standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your IP should be able to make sure you know what costs are going to \nbe payable for their services. If you are unsure at any time just ask \nthem for clarification. If your finances are already in difficulty, the \nlast thing you need to deal with is a hefty unexpected bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the IP is helping you to draw up and propose an IVA, they are \nacting as Nominee. Once the IVA is accepted, they will be the \nSupervisor, and will be responsible for the administration of the IVA. \nThese two distinct stages in the progress of the IVA tend to have \nseparate costs, as there is no guarantee that your IVA will in fact be \naccepted and get to the second phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IVAs tend to be attractive to people partly because of the relatively\n low costs involved, however, it\u2019s always worth making sure you know \nabout any potential costs up front before taking any decisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your finances are in a bad enough state that you are having to consider an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement ), it\u2019s best to make sure you understand the potential costs involved.<\/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-9500","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\/9500","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=9500"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9506,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9500\/revisions\/9506"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
