The IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement is government legislation that can help those who are struggling with UK personal debt problems. Those who are struggling with debts over £15,000 may find that an IVA can help them to deal with their debts, without having to face the prospect of bankruptcy.An IVA is the only debt solution, besides bankruptcy, which allows a certain amount of debt write-off. It means that you can avoid long term implications which are usually associated with bankruptcy. This includes the hindering of future career prospects and the loss of high-value assets, such as your home or your vehicle. If you are accepted for an IVA, then you will find additional benefits. You only make payments to your creditors for an average period of 60 months. These payments will be based on what you can afford to pay. To apply for an IVA please click HERE.
A good Debt Management Plan allows people in debt to bring their expenditure and income back into line without taking on more debt. Borrowing. If your debt problem is temporary and your situation is likely to improve then a debt management plan could be the best solution. Long tern the level of debt may increase. BEWARE - You may have seen companies offering debt Management plans that advertise in the national newspapers and even on the television, this type of advertising is very expensive, so you can tell how much money they make from people in debt. They will tell you that they can reduce your debt payments and they will deal with your creditors for you. Most debt management companies will charge you anything from 15% to 20% of the amount you pay to your creditors as a fee. To apply for a Debt Management Plan please click HERE
