Details And Conditions on IVA
Individual voluntary arrangement is a kind of an arrangement between the debtors and the creditors based on the condition of the debtors. An IVA is fairly a new concept introduced in UK a couple of years back. With the help of an IVA, one debtor will easily be able to get hold of a good debt solution to all his debt problems that he has been facing since past many years.IVA is a legal arrangement and is considered by the court. Usually the debtor takes help from an IP- the insolvency practitioner. He has to file a proposal in court after he studies the debtor's condition in the debt issues. The court when sees the details, orders the IP to consult the creditors. The creditors have to be called for a meeting. If the creditors vote a yes for the IVA, then they are a part of the legally binding IVA. If the 75% of the creditors vote against the IVA, it is rejected and the debtor has to look for another solution.The creditors can sue or take the debtors to courts if they do not agree to IVA. However, if they do then there is no backing out of the agreement. They have to be sure that they follow all the requirements defined in the agreement.Conditions and obligationThe legal criteria of the IVA have to be fulfilled.
