An IP is a professional\n and specialist in Insolvency, and can help you to work out what your \noptions are. They will also help you to work out what to propose as part\n of an IVA. In order to do this you\u2019ll need to provide them with some \ninformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information about your situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your IP will need to see details of all of your <strong>debts<\/strong>, your <strong>income<\/strong> and your <strong>assets<\/strong>\n if you have any.

They will then present\n your IVA to the creditors through the court. The creditors will then \nhave a meeting at which they discuss whether your proposal is acceptable\n to them. There isn\u2019t much you can do to influence this, as it is \nbasically up to them to decide whether to accept the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the creditors do accept the arrangement, they and you are then \nlegally bound to it. You will have to make whatever payments are agreed \nto in the IVA for the full term outlined, so you need to make sure that \nyou are in fact going to be able to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of proposing and<strong> setting up an IVA<\/strong> \ntypically takes a few weeks, but the first step is to speak to an IP and\n get the right advice as to how to move forward.
