If your debts have become unmanageable, an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) could help you to clear your debts and avoid bankruptcy. It is a legally binding agreement between you and your creditors in which you will repay an agreed percentage of your debts (based on how much you can afford), and write off the rest.

Before you can enter into an IVA, you will work with an Insolvency Practitioner (IP) to draw up an IVA proposal, detailing the proposed terms of the IVA.
