Levels of homelessness are on the rise, as are requests and applications for IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) help. More and more people are turning to IVA help as a way to deal with their financial problems and those that can't get IVA help risk winding up on the streets. Both the increase in applications for IVA help and this year's 8% rise in homelessness are symptoms of the country-wide economic downturn.
Other than the increase in applications, the biggest change when it comes to IVA help is the people who are applying for it. IVA help was once the fall-back option for low-income families who had fallen on tough times, now increasing numbers of lower-middle and middle class earners are finding themselves with insurmountable debts and looking into getting IVA help.

Crisis, a UK charity who help the homeless, has reported an increase in once middle class people sleeping rough after falling on hard times and finding themselves let down by the welfare system and unable to get secure IVA help or housing.
Middle class homelessness is still very rare but Crisis are arguing that the current financial downturn, combined with government cuts to the welfare system, could result in a serious and exponentially worsening amount of homelessness, across society.
With so many people needing IVA help and nasty reductions when it comes to housing benefits and provisions for families and individuals in crisis, homelessness is demonstrably becoming more common.
There has been an increase in desperately poor families living in poverty in the UK, families which are too destitute to be eligible for IVA help, and there just isn't the right sort of provision being made for them by the government.
There is too little housing, too little support and too little in the way of welfare for the desperately poor. A working or middle class family who are experiencing financial difficulties could fairly simply apply for IVA help, make some savings by living more frugally and emerge on the other side. But for the desperately poor who aren't eligible for IVA help or other debt management assistance the safety net that is supposed to catch them before they wind up homeless seems to be getting progressively smaller.

IVA is a smart solution for people who are under debt or have debt related problems. It is the best alternative to bankruptcy. IVA stands for Individual Voluntary Agreement and it is an agreement between the creditors and the borrowers which is completely legal and binding. IVA's were introduced under the Insolvency Act of 1986. It is used to tackle the problem of bankruptcy and is of great help to debt-ridden people. Once the agreement between the debtor and the creditor takes place, an insolvency practitioner is assigned to the debtor and the payment plans are decided accordingly. In IVA the loan amount that the person has to pay over a period of time is reduced.

Features:
IVA is a contract that is signed between a debtor and the creditor. This contract says that after the signing of this contract it becomes the duty and obligation of the company to help out the borrower with the debt. Due to the close association between the company and the debtor, the person should choose carefully as to which company he should sign the contract with. After the agreement is signed then an insolvency practitioner is attached to the debtor to help him out. There are many different types of plans that the debtor can choose from according to his comfort. Normally up to about 75% of the total debt can be repaid. The amount can be reduced to such an extent that the person can pay off the rest of the debt comfortably.
Advantages:
The loan amount can be reduced accordingly to such an extent that the person can pay off the rest of the debt comfortably. The safety of the property and the job of the person are ensured.

In these times when people rely on credit to get by, more and more people are finding themselves deep in debt. Sometimes so deep they cannot get out without radical help. For those people who happen to live in the UK, there is the option of an individual voluntary arrangement, which can be the perfect solution to some situations. It is usually a better alternative to bankruptcy and will work when your situation is too serious for debt management.

What is An Individual Voluntary Arrangement?

An individual voluntary arrangement is a formal agreement, only available in the UK, that is made between your creditors and yourself in which you agree to pay back a percentage of the money you owe to them. This is done over a five year period and is a binding legal agreement as long as you keep up the repayments. These legally binding agreements are commonly referred to as IVAs and are not available in countries outside the UK. It is a way of writing off a large part of your debts that you cannot afford to repay.
How Does It Work?
You can apply to any good debt company that provides this solution to get a free review. They will go through your finances in detail before getting back to you with a proposal if that is a suitable option. Proposals will be drawn up for an individual voluntary arrangement using questions that you answer about your financial situation. You need to check the proposals over and sign them before returning them to your insolvency practitioner (IP).
An Interim Order is then applied for through the courts. Creditors can no longer take legal action against you after an Interim Order is in place. For an Individual Voluntary Arrangement to be approved, creditors representing 75% of the monetary value of the debts must approve of the plan. If one creditor represents more than 25% of the monetary value and he refuses, your IVA will fail. If certain creditors do not vote it is assumed they are voting for the arrangement. These are in marked contrast to a debt management plan, which is an informal solution with no way to compel creditors to join the plan.
IVAs are legally binding, which has advantages in your favour, but it also means that you cannot just change your mind about it if your circumstances change. The creditors cannot change their minds either once they have voted. If you fail to keep up your repayments then the creditors can come after you again and you could even be made bankrupt. People likely to be approved for an IVA are likely to have debts of at least £15,000 and be struggling to keep up with repayments. For an arrangement to work and be approved you will need to have a source of income, preferably from regular employment. Debts that can be included in the plan will be unsecured and they must be to a few different creditors.
Anyone in the UK who is in debt and considering bankruptcy should always approach a debt management company first, so see if there are any alternative solutions that may have less drastic and long lasting consequences.

Although bankruptcy might seem like an easy answer to your financial problems, it is best avoided if at all possible. After all there are so many disadvantages associated with bankruptcy that it really should be a last resort.
If you file for bankruptcy it will stay on your credit record for a number of years. This will make it practically impossible for you to obtain a credit card or loan. If you do manage to get one you are likely to be subject to hefty interest charges and fees.
Furthermore, although it does not always happen if you go bankrupt you may lose your home. Bankruptcy can also affect your long term career options. If you own a company you will be forced to close it and your employees will be dismissed. Whilst looking ahead, you will not be able to form a new company in the future without the court's permission. You can also lose your professional status and are not allowed to hold public office.
Given all the negative effects of bankruptcy it is worth considering the alternatives to it. The Insolvency Act of 1986 introduced the IVA as a legitimate alternative to bankruptcy.
An IVA does not have any of the disadvantages attached to bankruptcy. For instance there is no social stigma with an IVA as it is entirely private between you and your creditors.
An IVA is a formal arrangement between you and you creditors. If your creditors agree to this they will write of a certain amount of your debt completely. In addition they will freeze interest on your debt and agree not to contact you whilst the IVA is in place.
An IVA allows you to repay your debt over five years. After this time, if you have abided by its terms, you will be declared free of debt.
An IVA enables you to avoid bankruptcy and clear your debts. They can be excellent alternative to bankruptcy for people with debts over £15,000, multiple creditors and who can afford to re-pay at least £200 a month.

If you have tried an ordinary debt management plan, which is a voluntary agreement between you and your creditors and not a legally binding one, and found it didn't work, you may be left with a choice between bankruptcy and an IVA.

Bankruptcy

Too many people hold the foolish belief that filing for bankruptcy will wipe out their debts, what they don't realise is that some debts such as child maintenance, income tax and council tax, are not dischargeable debts. Most people have no idea of the impact that filing for bankruptcy can have on your life. In order to reduce the number of people who filed for bankruptcy on unsecured debts below a certain level, the government introduced the IVA or individual voluntary arrangement for people who had multiple debts of at least fifteen thousand pounds.


IVA

An IVA is a government alternative to filing for bankruptcy. The arrangement does place more responsibility on the individual to repay their debts, but it also means they will be debt free in five years, with a lot less of the problems faced by someone who has been declared bankrupt. Because an IVA is an individual and private arrangement, the details of your financial position are not made public, as they would be if you filed for bankruptcy.
If you have been told to seek IVA advice then you will need an insolvency practitioner to draw up the agreement, contact your creditors, and take your monthly repayments. When you own your own home and you file for bankruptcy, then your house can be sold by the court appointed trustee to pay your debts, this does not happen with an individual voluntary agreement.
People who file for bankruptcy are not allowed to hold a bank account until their bankruptcy is discharged, neither are they allowed to hold a post as a company director for a certain number of years. A bankruptcy filing will usually remain on your credit file, even after you have been discharged. You will find it extremely difficult, if not impossible to get a mortgage, a credit card or a loan if you are a discharged bankrupt. While an individual voluntary arrangement will affect your credit record, it will not be nearly as damaging as bankruptcy, and you should be able to continue having a bank account while the arrangement is in force.

Getting yourself out of debt is not one of the easiest things you can do. Most people inadvertently find themselves in such a situation. With the current state of the economy, and everyone trying hard to make ends meet, not to mention inflation and high rates of unemployment, one is often left with no choice than to take out loans which could always result in debt. More so, if you already have a lot of other debts to settle. Should you lose hope? What leads to debt?

One of the most common ways that people fall into serious debt is by using a credit card. This method of payment is preferred by a large number of people for various reasons. In addition to it being a more secure way of carrying money, it also makes payment easier especially if you are purchasing things from an online store. However, it is a widely acknowledged fact, that people often spend more when they use a credit card than they would if they had hard cash. This could be attributed to the varying limits that come with the use of a credit card. Debt free advice in this regard is therefore essential.
When it comes to debt free advice, you need to keep in mind that apart from personal loans and credit cards, mortgages too often lead to debt. It's important to point out regarding debt free advice, that the result of all this would be the person with excess debt having to liquidate their assets to get out of this mess. In the worst case, a person would have to file bankruptcy, which would be detrimental to your credit rating, thereby affecting future prospects of taking out loans.

How to deal with debt
If you are already in debt, set aside the amount you would need to pay to different lenders each month, and do not use that money for any other purpose.
Debt free advice #2 - Refrain from splurging for a while. Saving your money would be a great way to start off! You can find ways to increase your income, such as by investing your money somewhere so that you earn an amount in return.
Debt free advice #3- Stop using a credit card!

If you have debts of around £15,000 (or higher) that you are unable to repay, an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is a Government-backed debt solution that could help you get back in the clear by writing off a substantial amount of your debt. As part of the Insolvency Act (1986), it's a legally binding means of getting out of debt that helped over 40,000 people per year in both 2006 and 2007.
An IVA proposal can only be put forward by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner. If the IVA is approved, you will pay a set monthly amount towards your IVA, usually for 5 years - after which your debt will be considered settled.
Before entering an IVA, your circumstances will be thoroughly reviewed to determine how much you are able to pay each month once living expenses have been taken into account. Creditors are likely to accept an IVA if they can see that a) you are not able to repay the full amount, and b) they will get more from your IVA then they would by petitioning for your bankruptcy.

How does an IVA work?

1) Firstly, you will speak to a debt adviser about your situation. If they think an IVA is your best option, they will work with you to draw up a proposal, telling your creditors how much they would receive if the IVA goes ahead.
2) The proposal is then submitted to your creditors for approval. A Creditors' Meeting will be planned to give your creditors a chance to discuss the terms.
3) The Creditors' Meeting invites your creditors to get together and vote on whether to approve your IVA proposal. For the IVA to go ahead, those who vote in favour of the proposal must collectively own more than 75% of your total debts.
If any of your creditors do not respond to the proposal, it is automatically considered a vote in favour of the IVA.
4) If approved, the IVA begins and you will pay a fixed amount each month, which will be divided between your creditors. Your creditors are legally required to stop charging interest and may no longer pursue any kind of legal action, unless the terms of the IVA are broken.
5) If you successfully keep up payments for 5 years, the IVA is complete and you are legally debt-free. However, it may take up to a year afterwards for the IVA to disappear from your credit history.

In the US and the UK there are no government debt management plans in the sense that the government get directly involved in providing direct help with your debt problems. However, a government can legislate to put systems in place that make it easier with people with serious debt problems to avoid the usual route of bankruptcy.
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland there is a scheme called an individual voluntary arrangement or IVA. In Scotland where many of the laws are different, the government introduced something called a Trust Deed, which is very similar to an IVA in terms of how it works.

The Trust deed can be seen as an indirect government debt management tool, in that it was brought in to help Scottish people to get out of very serious debt situations without having to file for bankruptcy, or sequestration as it is in Scotland. It allows you to make payments towards your debts for a fixed period of time, and at the end of that period any debts remaining unpaid are written off.
For people in Scotland who are really struggling with debt, the Trust Deed is a real lifeline that allows them to become debt free again in a relatively short period of time. The Scottish government have provided a system that is even more advantageous for the person in debt than the IVA is. You make payments for a shorter period of time and you only need the agreement of two thirds of your creditors for the Trust Deed to be binding on the rest. This compares with 75% of creditors which is the requirement for an IVA.
The government had a very specific purpose in setting up the Trust Deed as a debt management tool, which was to give people an alternative to the very damaging option of bankruptcy and all the lasting consequences that it entails. For this reason Trust Deeds are aimed at people in very serious situations, so there are certain requirements in order to be eligible for this kind of help.
To be able to set up a Trust Deed, you need to have unsecured debts of £12,000 or more to a few different creditors. Unsecured debts include credit cards, personal loans, payday loans, store cards, etc. This compares well to the £15,000 of debt that the UK government requires you to have to get an IVA. While you are less likely to lose valuable assets such as your house when you set up a Trust Deed, you cannot include in the deed any secured loans such as arrears on your mortgage.

If you are suffering from significant debt problems then you may be considering applying for an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA). An IVA is one of the most popular forms of debt relief available to UK individuals. Individual Voluntary Arrangements are a government back debt solution that will consolidate your debts and leave you debt free after a fixed period of time, usually after five years. Unlike bankruptcy the IVA is a completely private agreement between you and your creditors. It is a legal arrangement that replaces all your existing unsecured credit repayments with a single regular monthly payment to be shared out between your creditors. Nearly fifty thousand people used an individual voluntary arrangement to get their debts restructured and payments lowered last year.

To qualify for an IVA you must meet certain qualifying criteria. IVAs are intended to help people with significant debts of at least £15000. Generally it is preferable for this debt to be divided between three or more creditors. To apply for an IVA you should first talk to a professional financial advisor who will advise you whether or not it is the best solution to your financial problems. If an individual voluntary arrangement is right for you then there are many companies in the UK who can arrange your IVA. Individual voluntary arrangements can only be prepared and managed by licensed Insolvency Practitioners (IP). It is the IP who will draft a formal proposal for you and your creditors. Providing at least 75% of your creditors agree to the proposal the IVA will be confirmed and all creditors will be automatically bound by its terms.

Debt Consolidation is the last resort before bankruptcy for many of us. What we need to know are hard facts about the types of debt consolidation, and how they can affect us personally.
The most obvious debt consolidation would be in the form of a loan. These can be an ideal choice if you are in a situation where you can afford to pay the loan repayment and all the added interest on top. Unfortunately for many, this is not an option.

So, moving onto FREE Debt Consolidation. The debts that you owe including credit cards, store cards and any unsecured debt will be added together.
Once your status has been established, you may be offered an IVA (individual voluntary arrangement) or a DMP (debt management plan).
An IVA is a legally binding agreement which is paid over a fixed period of time. After that time period, any debt that remains is written off.
If you are advised to go for an IVA, you will need to sign a letter to the company who is dealing with your free debt consolidation. This will allow them to negotiate with your creditors on your behalf. You will have to include all unsecured creditors in the agreement. Any secured payments you have, for example a mortgage, will still have to be paid as normal by yourself outside of the agreement.
This type of free debt consolidation normally lasts for 5 years. This means that if you were to sell all of your assets that you own, the amount raised would not cover the amount of debt you have incurred.
The other free debt consolidation is a DMP. Initially it works the same way as an IVA. You make a list of your creditors and what you owe, and the company who is offering free debt consolidation will make reduced offers of payment to your creditors on your behalf.
There is never any guarantee that the creditors will accept the reduced payment put forward, but the free debt consolidation company should know what a reasonable and acceptable amount would be purely by experience.
There is no set period of time that the loan should be paid back. It all depends on the size of your debt and if your creditors are prepared to freeze the interest and charges on your debt.
The same as the IVA, all unsecured creditors should be included in the DMP. Secured loans will need to be payed as normal.
Some DMP providers do charge a fee, so you need to check upfront that you are getting FREE debt consolidation.
Lastly, you need to remember that any missed payments could jeopardise the whole arrangement. The whole arrangement is based on confidence that you will meet the new reduced payments. If you do miss, your creditors could add interest (exactly what you are trying to avoid)!

If you are on an IVA plan, you know that you will need to spend carefully. An IVA is not a short term solution to getting out of debt and can last up to five years. The first step that you need to take is to ensure that you do not default on paying your monthly installment towards your IVA. Defaulting on this can cause you to lose your IVA, and you can get sued by your creditors. So, that is the first monthly payment that has to be paid judiciously. If you are living on rent then your next priority should be to pay your monthly rent. If on mortgage then it is the mortgage payment that should be made.
Next on your list of necessary expenses that you cannot avoid paying will be children education and insurances. If you have bought anything on hire purchase you will need to pay its installments.

There are certain fixed monthly expenses that you have to pay, like utility bills. You can review your utility bills and cut down on them. Simple steps like turning off extra lights, appliances when not in use, will help reduce your utility bills. Appliances on standby mode also consume energy, so switch them off from the mains. Cutting down on telephone calls or switching to a cheaper service provider can also help you save some money.
If you have your own car, check how much you spend on transport. You can easily cut down on transportation costs by planning your trips and trying to get the maximum work done per trip. You can switch to public transport and walk to and from work or car pool.
Families spend a lot on groceries and seldom know exactly what their groceries expenses are. Therefore, it would be a good idea to shop with a shopping list and keep a tab on what your grocery expenses are. After a month, you will know where you can cut costs on your groceries. Buying in bulk and looking for bargains can help you cut costs.
Only buy things when it is absolutely necessary and pay cash. You can ask your family to chip in with ideas on how to cut costs. Living within a monthly budget can just be the driving factor to clear you of your debts. You can cut down on entertainment expenses and stay far away from impulsive shopping. Sales and bargains at super stores may sound exciting and cost saving but go armed with a list of what do you really need to buy. Do not get caught up in the mad rush of bargain shopping. You can end up spending on things that may turn out to be quite useless and a waste of money.
By following these few simple tips, you can live within a budget and work through your IVA plan. The good thing about it is that once your IVA is over, you will have developed a habit of spending carefully.

Insolvency is a financial state in which a company can no longer pay its bills and other obligations on time. Insolvency usually occurs whenever liabilities, or debts, exceed assets and cash flow. Once a company becomes insolvent, it must take immediate action to generate cash and settle or renegotiate current debts. Companies which cannot overcome insolvency often face bankruptcy proceedings, receivership, or liquidation of all assets. Most often insolvency is confused with bankruptcy. Both insolvency and bankruptcy deal with liabilities exceeding assets, but insolvency is a state of being and bankruptcy is a matter of law. Insolvency can lead to bankruptcy, but the condition may also be temporary and fixable without legal protection from creditors.

Insolvency rule advice and law can help take a wise decision. Not everybody is familiar with insolvency rules. Seeking professional advice can help overcome the problem quickly. The Insolvency service provides answers to most often asked questions on insolvency. It is important that a person maintains control throughout insolvency, rather than one of the creditors, and provide a clear route forward in order to gain the support and trust of your creditors.
Talking to creditors is very important. Taking the creditors into confidence can help handle things efficiently. Seeking help from professional experts can help negotiate with creditors. This will help resolve problems quickly. Many people have benefited from Insolvency service.
Individual Voluntary Agreements or Iva's were first introduced in 1986. Debt management plans include Iva's and other debt solutions. This increase in IVA agreements may be attributed to the rise in consumer debt, recent changes in bankruptcy law, and of course an increase in bankruptcies. An Insolvency Practitioner or IP oversees and manages the IVA starting from the proposal stages up to the point of completion. Opting for an IVA is a good means of declaring bankruptcy. Iva's are also an option for individuals considering availing of debt management plans.
Insolvency rules, act and law may seem difficult to understand for a layman. Hence, seeking help from professionals can help a great deal. Insolvency Law provides a clear, readable and comprehensive account of the principles of insolvency law in relation to both corporate and personal debtors.

This article is intended to explain the basics of what an IVA is and to offer some guidance on when it may be appropriate to consider one. Most references to IVAs on the web are from companies with a vested interest in offering you one, so there is a danger that the advice may be a little one-sided. The information in this article is unbiased and intended to provide the information you need to make an objective judgement about whether an IVA is right for you or not.

What Is An IVA?

An IVA is an Individual Voluntary Arrangement and is a legal agreement between you and the people you owe money to. It is a way of consolidating your debts into one payment, and will usually result in some of your debt being written off at the end of the process. IVAs are only available in the UK. Residents of the US should refer to debt settlement, which is the nearest equivalent.

The usual requirement for being able to set up an IVA are that you have at least £15,000 in unsecured debts (ie debts which are not secured against your home, such as your mortgage) which you are unable to pay. Your debts must be to three or more creditors and you must have a regular income.

To set up an IVA you will need to have the agreement of at least 75% of your creditors (by value of the debts). If 75% or more agree to the IVA, then the remaining creditors have to go along with it. The majority of IVAs will last for a period up to five years, though the period varies depending on the circumstances.

Advantages of IVAs

A large proportion of your debts may be written off
You should be debt free at the end of the process
As the IVA is a private agreement, there are no public notices about it as there would be for bankruptcy
You will not normally be required to sell your home (as you may be with bankruptcy)
Creditors will no longer be allowed to hassle you for money owed





Other Points To Consider

You have to pay for the IVA - the costs are substantial, so the process will cost you more than if you are able to deal with your debts on your own. Even if there are no fees up front, your monthly payments will include fees.
You must have at least £15,000 worth of debt
Future applications for credit may be affected, even after the IVA has ended

Consumer debt is a terrible thing, and when it gets particularly bad, many people end up filing bankruptcy because they can see no other way to end the situation. UK residents are fortunate in having the option of an IVA to use if their debt situation is very serious. This was designed as an alternative to bankruptcy, and is a way of writing off a large part of your debt without the drastic consequences of becoming bankrupt. The nearest equivalent to an IVA in the US is debt settlement, which is also a way of eliminating a portion of your debt and making it more possible to repay the rest.

Even if you have a good understanding of what an IVA is, you will naturally want to make sure you find the best IVA company to work with. This is a very important point because there are a huge number of debt management companies in the UK and they are unfortunately not all entirely honest. When you approach an IVA company you need to know that the advice you will get is based on telling you what course of action is going to actually deal with your situation most effectively and get you out of debt the fastest. What you have to avoid, therefore, are companies who will simply advise you to do whatever they can charge large fees for, rather than what will work best for you.
This article will give you the information you require to be able to sift through and find the best IVA company for you. You must first of all understand what an IVA is and how it works, so that you know what you ought to expect from a good IVA company. You need to understand that an IVA is different to a debt management plan, because it is a formal and legally binding arrangement. Your creditors do not have to agree to a debt management plan if they do not want to, but with an IVA, if you can get the creditors for at least 75% of the value of the debt to sign up for it, the other creditors have no choice but to be part of it. This can be a big advantage if you have a creditor who is not willing to co-operate with your attempts to deal with the debt in this way.
One of the main advantages of an IVA is that after a fixed period, usually of up to five years, your remaining debts are written off. This can mean getting rid of up to 75% of your debts at a stroke, if you make sure you use the best IVA company. Something else to bear in mind is that IVAs are not the best solution for everyone. They are still a serious step and should only be used for very bad debt situations. You will normally have to have at least £10,000 worth of debt to be able to set up an IVA. If your debts are smaller, or your income more substantial, a debt management plan may be a more appropriate option.
Provided you approach only the best companies, their analysis of your situation will tell you whether an IVA is right for you, or whether you should go with a debt management plan. The best companies will offer both. If you are a UK resident and you think an IVA may be the answer to your problems, you should only approach companies that are very well established and can demonstrate a history of having provided the right solutions for hundreds of other people before you.
The best approach is to avoid new companies as they are an unknown quantity. The safest starting point is to follow recommendations for a few of the most reputable IVA providers, and apply to a few of them. This will allow you to compare what they offer you so that you can then choose who you think is the best IVA company, from a group which are all safe and effective.
