The Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) was introduced to provide an alternative to bankruptcy.

It is a legally binding contract between a debtor and his or her creditors.

An IVA allows an individual to make a formal proposal to settle a debt within a reasonable and fixed period of time, and the contract is typically for five years.

The types of debts dealt with by IVAs can include personal loans, credit card balances, and other forms of “buy now, pay later” unsecured loans.

IVA has its own advantages and disadvantages, but we are going to discuss IVA pros for the purpose of this article.

Below are some of the IVA pros you probably don’t know about:

#1). Debt free in 5 years

An IVA will last for a fixed period of time, normally no longer than 5 years.

#2). Telephone calls and payment demands stopped

Once the IVA is agreed upon, your creditors by law are no longer allowed to demand payments from you either by telephone or letter.

#3). Interest and late payment charges frozen

After the IVA has been put in place, your creditors cannot add further charges or interest to any of your accounts covered by the agreement by law.

#4). Single monthly payment

At the beginning of the arrangement, you agree with your creditors what you can afford to pay each month. In some cases, you can pay a one-off lump sum.

#5). Repaired credit rating

Once you have successfully completed your arrangement, you will be allowed to borrow money and your credit rating will start to improve. You will not be credit blacklisted for life. Please read Understanding Credit Rating And Tips On How You Can Boost Yours.

#6). Fixed, legally binding agreement

Once agreed, the IVA is legally binding (see glossary) on all the creditors. You will know exactly where you stand and exactly how long it will be before you are debt-free.

#7). Protection from court action

Once an IVA is in place, your creditors are not allowed to take further legal action against you as long as you stick to the terms of the arrangement.

#8). Private agreement

If you undertake an IVA, it is a private matter between yourself and your creditors. No publicity in the local papers. However, your name can be searched in the insolvency register which is available on the internet.
