The pros and cons of an IVA

An IVA is a legal procedure, and the decision to enter into one should not be taken lightly. Here, at Solution Remortgages, we believe in advising our clients on the pros & cons of your IVA, so you are best able to understand our advice and make your own mind up about what is best for you.

Advantages of an IVA:

  • An IVA can write off unsecured debts that you cannot afford.
  • Interest or charges stopped.
  • A single low affordable monthly payment is agreed.
  • By reducing your monthly outgoings any pressure that you are under from your secured creditors may be alleviated.
  • After 60 months you will be debt free.
  • You will not have to sell any major assets.
  • There is less of a stigma attached, in comparison to bankruptcy.
  • An IVA is a legal private agreement between you and your creditors and, unlike bankruptcy, your details will NOT be published in your local newspaper.
  • An IVA should not hinder your future career prospects.
  • An IVA is legally binding, so your creditors cannot pursue you once the IVA has been accepted.
  • You can still keep your current account (although not an overdraft facility), and have a better chance of getting credit once the IVA is over.

Disadvantages of an IVA:

  • An IVA is a complicated legal procedure.
  • You must have unsecured debts greater than £15,000.
  • At least 75% of your creditors who vote, must agree to the IVA proposal,
  • An IVA lasts for 5 years.
  • You must make your monthly payments or your creditors could take further action against you.
  • You may be asked to re-mortgage your home to release a proportion of your equity.
  • You will not be able to take out further credit whilst you are in an IVA without the permission of your Insolvency Practitioner.
  • An IVA will affect your credit rating, for up to 6 years, although if you successfully complete your IVA then this will look more favourably on your record.
