IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) Help & Advice
An Individual Voluntary Arrangement, or IVA, is a financial agreement which legally binds both you and the entities you owe money to. Depending on how you are holding up financially, and how much you still owe on your debt, the amount of your payment may vary. The length of time you are allotted to pay the amount back can last for up to five years. After you complete the full term of payments the rest of the debt you owe is then considered to be legally settled.
IVAs are a recognized contractual obligation, not a form of debt management service. An IVA will require the use of an insolvency practitioner, a person who has been certified in the construction and documentation of IVAs. If you are considering an IVA, speak with an insolvency practitioner. They will be able to resolve your ability to enter into the contract and decide if it is practical for your set of circumstances.
Based on the information that you provide and what is collected, a proposal will be created. This involves a list of questions that you need to answer that will help you figure out how much you will end up having to repay in the end. After everything is in order, both you and your proctor will review the terms set and sign the contract. Once the contract is filed with the court and is properly enacted, your creditors will halt any legal advances.
The process of voting will begin once the court files the interim order. Three-fourths of the vote need to come back positive in order for the IVA to enact. The creditors will meet with your insolvency practitioner for the voting process. However, the creditors will rarely show up in person. Usually, a fax is sent with their response: either they will agree or deny your claim. After the voting is complete, and you receive at least seventy five percent of the vote, you will be approved.
However, approval does not end the need for the insolvency practitioner. Their job also entails managing the IVA – ensuring that payments are made in a timely manner and in the amounts promised. They also make sure each creditor receives the amount due proportionately. Once the repayment terms have been completed, your debt is considered paid and the burden will be lifted. The fortunate aspect is that not only are people able to save their homes from foreclosure or prevent the loss of property, but up to 65% of the original debt can be written off with the use of an IVA. That money does not have to be repaid, as long as the terms of the IVA are met as promised.
