A Debt Management Plan is a flexible agreement which means it can change with your personal circumstances. This type of agreement is best suited to those who have lower levels of debt, typically under £12,000. Those with higher debt levels may be more suitable for an IVA.

A Debt Free IVA

IVAs (Individual Voluntary Arrangements) were introduced as a form of government help for those who are dealing with high levels of debt and are looking for an alternative to bankruptcy.

An IVA is a legally binding contract between the debtor and their unsecured creditors. The IVA typically lasts for 60 months where the debtor agrees to make a set monthly payment over this time.

Once the IVA has been completed, any remaining debt will be written off. Not everyone is eligible for an IVA, so it is important to seek professional advice. Debt Free can find out if you are suitable for an IVA, so please get in touch with our debt free team today
