Filing Personal Bankruptcy Help

An IVA is an Individual Voluntary Arrangement, which is a formal agreement you make with your creditors. They are arranged through specialist companies and are an agreement you make to pay a certain amount of money to your creditors for a set period of time. Once this amount of time is up any debt you still have is written off completely.

With IVAs you simply need to get the creditors of 75% of your debt to agree to it, and the remaining 25% will be bound to the legal agreement whether they wish to or not. This is perfect if you owe 75% of your debt to a single creditor, and the remaining to others. You only need to get that single creditor to agree to the IVA, then no matter what the other creditors wish they are bound to the agreement anyway.

When you agree to an IVA the interest on your debt is frozen from that point. It is a far better option than declaring bankruptcy because you manage to keep your assets, you can keep a bank account and if you are a business you can continue to operate. There will be a small fee to set up an IVA although this fee will be less than filing for bankruptcy and you will pay the specialist who arranged the IVA for you within the monthly amounts you pay out. The amount you have to pay to the specialist is nothing compared to how much debt you will get written off by the end and the fact you were saved from bankruptcy.

Keep in mind that not every debt problem can be solved by an IVA. Although many debt companies would be glad to provide you information on IVAs you should be wary of a company that pushes you to forming an agreement simply so they can collect the set-up fees. Find a company you can trust that will help you find the best solution, an IVA is not the best option for everyone.

The best way to find a trustworthy company is to research, look for the companies that come highly recommended and have been successful in helping many people out of debt. Try contacting a handful of these companies and see who comes up with the best solution for you. You do not have to commit to the first company you find, you can always say no and keep looking.
