An IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement is one of these \noptions, and given the right advice, could well get you into a better \nand less troublesome financial state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>IVAs are basically an agreement between you and your creditors as an \nalternative to the agreements that you have with them at present. Using \nan IVA, you commit to paying a certain amount back over a period, an \namount that you can realistically afford. Your creditors are likely to \nreceive a better financial return if they agree to an IVA than if you go\n bankrupt, and for this reason there is a good chance that they will \nindeed agree to one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"848\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_124074043_S.jpg\" alt=\"IVA and Debt\" class=\"wp-image-9844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_124074043_S.jpg 848w, https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_124074043_S-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Fotolia_124074043_S-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 848px) 100vw, 848px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An Insolvency Practitioner will help you to decide firstly whether an  IVA is the right option for you, and secondly on the detail of the IVA  itself. They will look at your income, outgoings and your assets and  work out how best to move forward. As long as you get the right  agreement, an IVA can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">make debts manageable<\/a>, letting you get on top of them while retaining a level of control over your assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no restriction on the maximum and minimum amounts of debt \nthat an IVA can cover, nor on the repayments that you propose to make as\n part of it. However, whether or not an IVA will help really does depend\n on your own circumstances, and there is no one fix for all debt and \ninsolvency problems. The best way to move forward is to seek the advice \nfrom a qualified Insolvency Practitioner and take it from there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IVAs are basically an agreement between you and your creditors as an alternative to the agreements that you have with them at present. <\/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-9830","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\/9830","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=9830"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9830\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9845,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9830\/revisions\/9845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9830"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9830"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationaldebtrelief.co.uk\/debt-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9830"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
