How does an IVA work?


It's very simple. All you do is make one affordable monthly payment to a qualified legal professional, who in turn distributes the payments according to the amounts previously agreed by your creditors in an IVA proposal. You do this every month, for 60 months, and at the end of the term any debt balances you still owe are written off.

You don't have to deal with nasty creditors any more, and all the hard work is done for you. More on how it works here.

Could You Apply For An IVA?

You could be accepted for an IVA if you answer yes to these four simple criteria:

  • £5,000 or more in debt
  • Have 2 or more creditors
  • Are employed or self employed
  • Have a surplus of income of around £70 before you pay your debts each month

IVAs – Your Route To Debt Freedom

Think it's impossible to:

  • Stop creditors calling?
  • Keep your home and possessions?
  • Be debt-free?

Think again.

An IVA could give you your life back and pave the way to a happier debt-free future for you and your family.

"The real low point before my IVA was having my card declined at the supermarket. I had the kids with me and a full trolley of shopping all packed up in bags. I ran out of there dragging the kids behind me and I’ve never gone back." More testimonials here

Mrs Karen Collete, awarded an IVA in 2011.

Just think, no more:

  • Nasty phoncalls from creditors
  • Borrowing money from friends and family
  • Scrimping on cheap foods at the supermarket
  • Payday loans you have to keep rolling over
  • Dreading bills because you know you can’t pay
  • Running out of money within days of being paid
  • Having your cards declined at the till
  • Paying hefty charges for being a few pence overdrawn.
  • Pretending everything is ok when it’s not!
