                    |  | If you have over £15,000 debts and are currently struggling  to pay your debts when they fall due then you are technically insolvent. There's  a certain criteria that you will have to meet to be  accepted for  an IVA. 
                        You need to be a resident in England, Wales or  Northern IrelandNeed to be insolvent (can not afford to pay your  debts when they fall due)Have unsecured debts over £15,000 or moreYou need to have a stable income (in order to  make payments on the agreement)An IVA can be tailored to your financial circumstances, your  payments in an IVA will all depend on how much debt you currently owe and how  much you can afford to pay back monthly. A debt advisor will review your  finances and work out a monthly repayment that is fair to both you and your  creditors.
 Your employment will  not be affected by and IVA and you do not have to be a homeowner for an IVA to  be accepted. You will be required to make a monthly payment in an IVA for  usually 5 years, After this time whatever debt is remaining will be cleared.
 
 During the IVA you should be left with a reasonable amount of  money to live on. The process of the IVA will be smooth and painless with  relatively little disruption to your everyday life.
