Who are IVA Expert
At IVA Expert we are experts in the IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) debt solution.
Our mission is to ensure you can make an informed choice about whether this option is the best debt solution for you.
If you choose to start an IVA, we will guide you through the application process to make sure your Arrangement is implemented smoothly.
We can also advise if you are already in an IVA and are struggling or unhappy with it.
We share with you all our knowledge of the IVA process built up over the past 25 years. We will give you all the facts (positive and negative) and direct advice and assistance with getting your Arrangement in place.
We are not here to judge. We understand your situation and are here to help resolve your debt problem once and for all.
What do we do?
IVA Expert shares our extensive experience and knowledge of the IVA debt solution through our huge range of information guides. These are written by IVA Expert James Falla and can be found within our Knowledge Hub.
Reading about how an IVA works is one thing. But to really understand if it is right for you, you have to talk to an expert. We give you a free, confidential telephone consultation, explaining all the ins and outs and what using this debt solution will mean for you personally.
Once you have decided to start an IVA, we will assist you with the application process. This service is free and includes completing an accurate income and expenses budget with you to ensure your IVA payments are set at an affordable level.

Our Experience
Over the last 25 plus years, James Falla has helped hundreds of people start an IVA. This includes those who are employed, self employed, currently not working or retired.
One of IVA Expert’s areas of expertise is helping self employed people start an IVA. We are able to provide specialist advice in areas such as producing your business revenue and cost forecasting. This will enable you to confidently predict your income and what you can afford to pay into your Arrangement. We are also used to dealing with business debts such as money owed to HMRC and business loans.
Living abroad?
If you are living abroad, you may be wondering whether you are able to do an IVA. The answer is you can. We have helped many people start an IVA who have already moved away from the UK. Whether you are living in another European country or elsewhere we understand the pressures you are under and how you can use an IVA to help.
Already in an IVA?
You may have already started an IVA but are now thinking that it is no longer right for you. Perhaps your income has change and the Arrangement is no longer suitable. You can stop your IVA and choose a different debt solution. We can explain the implications and help you understand the alternative debt solutions available to you.

Mr James Falla has been very efficient in making me understand the different debt solutions and helped me decide the best option for me by explaining clearly each one of them and the process I will have to take.
He handled our communication in a non judgemental manner, with honesty and respect.
I was able to process my IVA sooner than I expected because of James’s support, reminders and guidance.

James has been absolutely brilliant, he really knows his stuff and has helped me in finding the best debt solution for my own personal circumstances.
I was in a very dark place before I found James, and he helped me see that there was hope and light at the end of the tunnel. He didn’t judge and doesn’t just read off a script! I don’t know where I would be now without him. A very heartfelt thank you and I would definitely recommend him.

James Falla is compassionate and understood the sensitivity of dealing with me.
James, I cannot thank you enough for your help and assistance with my IVA process always there for a chat and guidance where needed even if it was on your own time.
Thank you again for all your help and support.

James, you were simply fantastic. You guided me through the IVA process perfectly. Your manner with me was impeccable and I could not have wanted more. From the very first meeting I made you aware of my condition which can affect my understanding and you took it upon yourself to make sure I understood the options that were available to me, but more importantly, which options were appropriate for me.
The feeling of relief that this chapter of worry is behind me is down, in the most part, to yourself – had you not been so approachable, I likely would not have felt comfortable discussing my situation with you. The services you offer, and more importantly you, have put at ease the most extended and worrisome years of my life. Thank you
