Unfortunately many people who are in debt right now will never be completely free of debt. With the economic situation being the way it is, and with the cost of living getting higher and the salaries decreasing, everybody seems to have less money on hand. This is causing debt levels to rise and some people can’t afford to make repayments at all. That is why so many people are turning to IVA debt help.

An IVA is an agreement, an Individual Voluntary Agreement to be precise, that allows you to pay a set amount every month towards paying off your debts. The amount of the total debt is reduced as a result of these set monthly repayments and what is left is written off after the term of the agreement (usually 5 years). At the end of the term, providing you have kept up repayments, you will be considered debt free.
