An IVA is a contract which is generally made by the creditors so that a person can make a reasonably priced monthly expense towards his debt. An IVA generally last for 60 months or 5years. It is a lawfully binding contract which requires the person to cooperate with the Trustee. If the Trustee’s requests are all met, the person will be free from debt. The person should at least owe £12,500 in unsecured debt which the person is able to repay at least £200 every month toward the person’s debt and is able to repay 25% of the unsecured money owing in 5 years.
