Individual voluntary arrangements or IVA debt help is mostly used in the UK, Spain, and Europe and sometimes in Mexico.  It's the equivalent to our debt management in the United States.  When an individual or family suffers from too much debt and can't repay it, they consult with an IVA debt management consultant.

The IVA debt help or IVA debt management consultant helps the individual or family consolidate their bills into one, low monthly payment that they can afford.  They do this by negotiating with the creditors that the individual or families owe money to and get them to reduce the interest and penalties and sometimes the initial loan down by 20 to 70%.

Instead of lawyers, like those we use in the United States, IVA debt helps through licensed insolvency practitioners who are also chartered accountants. IVA help is just a phone call away.  The individual voluntary arrangement or IVA debt help will save you thousands of dollars because it is a legally binding agreement that you enter into with your creditors that will be overseen by the insolvency practitioners.

Many of the IVA debt management consultants or insolvency practitioners will help to freeze the interests on your loans and credit card debt so that you won't be paying any more in interest charges.  The IVA debt helps to remove any threat to your home such as foreclosure or liens on your home.

Bankruptcy is a big decision and can cost you your home and other assets.  With IVA debt help, you will be able to keep your home and many of your other assets because they will talk to your creditors on your behalf and make arrangements for monthly payments that are within your budget so that you will stay on course and not skip payments and not be afraid to answer the phone because it would be a creditor calling, IVA stops creditors calls and deals with them for you.

When calling for IVA debt help, you will get not only one insolvency practitioner, but a whole team of chartered accountants working for you to help you in this troubled time of financial difficulties.  The IVA debt management consultants don't ask how you got into the trouble you're in, they're only there to help you get out of it.

When using IVA debt help, it is best not to acquire any additional loans or credit cards because this will just push to deeper in debt and IVA will continue helping you and you will pay more in fees for IVA help and you want to get out of debt not deeper in debt.

Individual voluntary agreements should not be entered into lightly.  You should shop around, check references and make sure that they are a legitimate company that has actually helps people in their dealings with creditors and loan companies.  Because you want them to do for you what they've done for several other people and that is take care of your debt by reducing it somewhere between 50% and 70% and that is not an unreasonable amount to shoot for.
