What is an IVA in London?
An IVA is a formal debt solution available to individuals living in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It is a legally binding agreement with your creditors which allows you to reduce your debt payments to a single affordable amount.
The agreement usually last between 5-6 years. At the end of this period, any unpaid debt is written off. You can then get on with your life – debt free.
The process is supervised by a licensed Insolvency Practitioner (IP). The IP deals with your creditors on your behalf and ensures your plan remains on track.

IVA Advice London – What to Expect
The process of setting up an IVA starts with a free consultation. During this initial assessment, we’ll review your debts, income, expenses, and assets. This allows us to determine whether you qualify for an IVA and whether it’s the most suitable solution for your circumstances.
If an IVA is appropriate, we’ll help you get all the necessary paperwork in place. A proposal will be drafted to present to your creditors. This outlines how much you can afford to pay each month. Creditors must agree to the proposal for the IVA to be approved. If accepted, your IVA becomes legally binding.
Once your IVA begins, you’ll:
- Make one affordable monthly payment
- Stop receiving letters and calls from creditors
- Avoid further interest and charges on your debts
- Get protection for yourself and your home from court action and enforcement
Throughout the term of your IVA, if you have queries or issues or if your situation changes, we will be on hand to offer advice and guidance.

Is an IVA Right for You?
An IVA can be an effective debt solution. However, it’s not suitable for everyone. It’s best suited for people with:
- Unsecured debts of at least £7,000 or more
- Two or more creditors
- A regular income or consistent source of funds
- A property or other assets that need protecting
- At least £100 per month available to pay towards debt after living costs
You can include a wide range of debts in an IVA. Commonly things like credit cards, personal loans, catalogue debts, overdrafts, and payday loans. However, you can also use this solution to write of tax debt owed to HMRC, Council tax and utility arrears and CCJs.
We understand that everyone’s financial situation is unique and there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. That’s why our IVA advice London is always based on your individual circumstances and needs. We also understand how certain factors in London may affect your financial circumstances, and we work alongside you to address these.
IVA vs Other Debt Solutions
While an IVA is a popular choice for many people in London, this is just one of several debt solution options. At IVA Expert, we will also explain alternatives such as:
- Debt Relief Orders (DROs) – for people with low income and minimal assets
- Debt Management Plans (DMPs) – informal agreements to repay debts over time
- Bankruptcy – suitable in cases where you have minimal assets and would struggle to make ongoing payments towards your debts
- Debt Consolidation Loans – combining multiple debts into one loan
Choosing the right solution depends on your financial situation, your assets, and your long-term goals. We ensure you understand the pros and cons of all the debt solution options suitable for you and help you make an informed decision.
