What is an IVA?


IVA stands for Individual Voluntary Arrangement. An IVA is a simple arrangement in which you pay a single monthly sum to your creditors and become debt free within five years. It usually involves your creditors agreeing to write off part of your debt. It is a proposal you put to your creditors that they may prefer to agree to, to avoid you becoming a bankrupt. We at Debt Lifeboat will assist you in putting together that proposal.
