IVA : Pros And Cons: Advantages And Disadvantages Of An IVA

When trying to establish which debt solution is the most suitable available to you, it makes sense to examine all the advantages and disadvantages of each solution.

It should be no different with an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA).

So what are the advantages and disadvantages or Pros and Cons of an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)?

As debt solutions go, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) has the ability to 'swing' the balance of advantage from the creditor to the debtor.

When a person is faced with an overburdening debt problem, all the advantage rests with the creditors. It is they who call the shots.

Creditors can put immense pressure on to a person with threats of legal action and stiff financial penalties for non payment of their debts. For the debtor, this is a huge disadvantage.

They have control.

An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) moves the balance of advantage away from the creditor by blocking the creditor's right to take legal action against the debtor, and stops the creditors from being able to add financial penalties, such as late payment charges and interest charges.

Once the balance has been moved, the debtor can concentrate on repaying as much as they can afford to the creditors, but no more. (The Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) payments are preset at an affordable amount for the debtor, which is one of the Pros or an advantage.)
