Frequently Asked Questions

Your initial consultation call with us is free, no obligation and confidential. However, if you choose to proceed with the debt solution we recommend, there may be fees involved. In the case of an IVA these fees would come out of your agreed, affordable monthly contribution (not on top of) and are to cover the costs of the administration of the IVA. IVA fees have been outlined below in an example (illustrative purposes only), where the client has £18,000 worth of debt and is making monthly payments of £150 in an IVA (£9,000 in total over 60 months)*.
  • The Nominee’s fee – £1,000
  • The Supervisor’s fee** – £1,200
  • The Supervisor’s costs – £1,200
  • Total repaid to unsecured creditors – £5,600
  • Total written off by unsecured creditors – £12,400

An IVA is a form of insolvency set up and managed by an Insolvency Practitioner (IP), which enables you to write off large portions of unsecured debt with government legislation, and is a less intrusive bankruptcy alternative. Once entered into an IVA, creditors can take no further action against you and won’t be able to directly contact you. An IVA will affect your credit rating for six years and your information will also be placed on the public Register of Insolvencies for the duration of the plan, but will allow you to clear your debts. In an IVA, your current financial situation taken into consideration and a single monthly payment is agreed – this payment is then divided among the people you owe money to. During the course of your plan all interest and fees associated with your debts are frozen. At the end of the IVA the remaining debts are written off and you can begin your debt-free future. An IVA is open to residents of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Scottish residents can find an IVA alternative in the form of a Trust Deed. For more on an IVA, click here.

Once you have successfully entered into an IVA, then creditor contact chasing for payment will stop resulting in a lot less stress! You may still receive statements (by law statements must be sent) but if you were to receive any other contact then we will sort it out for you.

With an IVA you will not be required to pay more than you can comfortably afford no matter what this amount may be and no matter how much income you have. In our call, we will complete a thorough review of your finances and complete an income and expenditure review using nationally recommended guidelines accepted by your creditors. We understand that a decent standard of living is vital and that pushy lenders can make this seem impossible, but our aim is to get you debt free in a reasonable time frame at a rate you can afford.

With an IVA you will have a clear time frame as to when you will be debt free with affordable monthly payments. You will be provided with all the necessary information to enable you to make an informed decision before proceeding with the application and if you decide not to proceed then there is no charge.
