Write off up to 81% of debt with debt management advice

Yes, an IVA will have an impact on your credit rating as it will show on your credit report for six years after it has been approved. However, it’s important to note this is the case for most debt solutions and your credit score will likely already have been affected by being in debt in the first place.

Once your IVA is complete you will be offered a fresh start to begin rebuilding your credit rating.

In most cases entering an IVA won’t affect employment. However, in certain professions, such as accountants and solicitors, having an IVA may mean that you can no longer practice or you may only be able to practice under certain conditions.

Once you enter an IVA, creditors can take no further action against you and can’tcontact you directly.

An IVA can be a positive way to manage unaffordable unsecured debt and allow you to better manage your monthly finances.

In an IVA a single monthly payment is agreed with your current financial situationtaken into consideration – this payment is then divided between the people you owe money to. During the course of your plan all interest and fees associated with your debts are frozen.

At the end of the IVA the remaining debts are written off and you can begin your debt-free future.

When you’re considering entering an IVA, it’s important to be aware of the following:

• If you are a homeowner and your property has equity in it, you’ll need to try to re-mortgage which could result in an increased interest rate.
• Your credit rating will be affected.
• Only the unsecured debts included in your IVA will be written off at the endof the agreement.
• Your IVA will be recorded on a public register.
