Do you have unsecured debts with a number of creditors you are unable to pay? If so, then there is an alternative to Bankruptcy, which allows you to renegotiate the terms of your repayments to creditors into an affordable and manageable sum. An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) can be used to help manage the debt, and lower your repayments to creditors, meaning you are able to pay off your debts while having enough money to live off each month.
The IVA Proposal sets out the amount to be repaid and the duration of the arrangement which is usually 60 months, but can be much shorter if the offer is based on a full and final settlement. The IVA proposals need to be drawn up and presented for you by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner. This is because an IVA is a legally binding contract and is governed by insolvency legislation.
IVAs are designed to clear your debts, whilst lowering your repayments to creditors or allowing you to offer lump sums from the realisation of assets of third party funding. The advantage of this process means that you are able to balance the desire to repay your creditors whilst having sufficient money to live off each month, thus avoiding the commonly seen patter of “robbing Peter to pay Paul”.
Whilst you may not eventually repay your creditors in full – most people actually do not – your creditors will agree to write off often substantial sums providing you keep to your share of the bargain. This brings peace of mind in the knowledge that your debts are under control and that the arrangement is being supervised on behalf of you and your creditors by a suitably qualified and highly regulated professional.

An IVA allows you to renegotiate the terms of your arrangements with your creditors. If you have unsecured debts with a number of creditors that you are unable to pay this is an alternative to formal bankruptcy. An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) allows you to manage your debts with a solution that will give your creditors money over a period of time, which is normally 60 months.
A debt management plan (DMP) represents a viable alternative to an Individual Voluntary Arrangement for those people struggling to cope with rising levels of debt. A DMP allows individuals to restructure debt repayments into a informal payment plan.
Declaring bankruptcy may be a last resort, and you do need to make sure that you have fully considered the process from all angles – the advantages, the disadvantages and the implications. Our experienced personal insolvency team at PJG Recovery can talk to you about all of the solutions available to you, including Debt Relief Orders, Individual Voluntary Arrangements and informal Debt Management.
If you live in Scotland and are struggling to repay your debts you may want to consider entering into a Trust Deed with your creditors. A Trust Deed is an alternative to bankruptcy and is a formal agreement between you and your creditors, where you agree to pay an affordable payment each month for a fixed period - usually 3 years - in exchange for your creditors agreeing to write off the balance outstanding at the end of the 3 years.
