An IVA (Individual
Voluntary Arrangement) is the most efficient form of personal debt consolidation
program. IVAs were set up by the government to provide a solution to
the problem of personal debt and deal generally with the issue of personal
insolvency. Our clients are licenced to give advice and do so on the
basis that IVAs were never designed to be one-size-fits-all cures to
any debt problem, because each person's circumstances are different.
The needs of one
household or one individual can vary greatly from the needs of another.
Any personal debt consolidation advice given must reflect the diversity
of the situation in which people find themselves.
A normal IVA will
run for five years and when this completes all debt is cleared from
a person's credit history. During the time of the IVA no banks or debt
collectors are permitted to pursue the debtor. The IVA has all the benefits
of sequestration while having none of the disadvantages.
An IVA will write
off the bulk of a person's debt at the start of the programme (although
beware of the claims made in some circles: it is rarely more than 60
or 65% of total debt which can be cancelled in this way). Any good personal
debt consolidation advice of this sort will make sure that you get optimum
results with the lowest monthly repayments together with the highest
percentage of debt written off.
Please note that
this is not a so-called debt consolidation loan, which only serves the
salesman offering it and which gets people further into debt.

Personal Debt Consolidation
Most sorts of personal
debt consolidation - typically the IVA - will usually be made to run
for 60 months, but all too often this will vary in each case. At the
conclusion of the term the debt is considered to be discharged and the
client discharged. All records of the various debts which have hitherto
registered corresponding to the applicant's name and address will be
deleted from the record as appropriate.
A great advantage
of such an arrangement is that it will immediately cut the debt burden
by a huge percentage. Typically this can be as high as 60 per cent,
sometimes even more. This vast reduction of debt burden makes a substantial
difference and is one of the things which differentiates this from a
conventional management plan. So people seeking help for debt relief
should apply for that rather than a standard debt relief program every
time.
The creditors are
not permitted to try to contact the applicant now the personal debt
consolidation IVA is enacted. The creditors are not allowed to chase
up the debt in any way whatsoever, and if they insist on doing so they
will be committing an offence for which there are penalties, which may
mean a fine or even loss of their licence to trade if they are a debt
purchasing company. The applicant has this assurance in law to prevent
the telephone calls and other intrusive means these companies use to
intimidate and harass their prey.
A number of disciplines
have grown up related to failure, including the legal sector as well
as more recent professions including but not limited to consultants.
Such experts have their part to play. Each will have their own area
of specialisation which you should use to your advantage. Making usage
of a personal debt consolidation IVA should ensure that the turnaround
from insolvency is much more quick.
Our economy is
a very complicated thing. Expert economists and specialists of many
types are seeking to comprehend how the whole thing operates daily.
It has been compared to a vast machine. In the final analysis economic
practice impinges on social and political imperatives and these are
chiefly governed by the society that we have. This community is geared
towards the need for achievement ensuring that usually means exposure
to risk. As long as we have this peril we have also the ghastly prospect
of debt, individual and corporate. Using a personal debt consolidation
IVA is meant to alleviate this risk to a large extent.
Any personal debt
consolidation will be supervised by a qualified insolvency practitioner
and shall be made especially to cover the specific requirements. There
is no average attitude to these procedures as each situation is different
to the next, while some situations are considerably different. The insolvency
practitioner will now draw up the optimum programme according to the
applicant's own individual circumstances and set up a plan of repayments
to creditors which is typically for 60 months, though in some circumstances
this may be made to differ.
Personal debt consolidation
in the form of an IVA or other debt management plan is a very useful
legal measure and most would jump at the chance of getting one as it
is absolute and releases the holder from the entirety of his or her
debt at end of term. It is a much more benign response to personal insolvency
than other harsher measures like bankruptcy and it carries none of bankruptcy's
stigma.
