An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is a legal process by which you can gain protection from your unsecured creditors by entering into a legally binding repayment agreement with them, which is then supervised by a licensed insolvency practitioner.

The arrangement is supervised by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner who is responsible for all negotiations with your creditors and for ensuring that you make all of the payments required under the terms of the arrangement. You are normally required to make regular monthly repayments, usually over a 5-year period, after which any balances remaining on your debts are written off.

If you are a homeowner, you will normally be required to release any equity you have in your property by taking out a mortgage or secured loan and paying this money to your creditors. Once your creditors have agreed an IVA, all interest and charges on your unsecured debts will be frozen.
Your supervisor in the IVA is required to review your financial situation every year and, as a result, you may be required to increase your monthly contributions into the IVA.
