IVA : What Is The IVA Register ?

Individual Voluntary Arrangements, or IVAs are private arrangements between a debtor and their creditors.

Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) are listed as a matter for the public record on the Insolvency Services IVA Register.

The Individual Insolvency Register gives, among other things, the following details:

  • A full list of Bankruptcies that are current or have ended in the last 3 months
  • A list of all current Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs)
  • A list of all Fast Track Voluntary Arrangements, (FTVAs).
  • A full list of Bankruptcy Restrictions Orders, (BROs).
  • A full list of Bankruptcy Restrictions Undertakings, (BRUs)

Typical details that can be viewed on the IVA register include:

  • The debtor’s name
  • The debtor’s last known address.
  • Details of the IVA arrangement.
  • Details of the Insolvency Practitioner.
  • Details of the debtor’s Date of Birth
  • Details of the debtor’s occupation.

IVAs will stay on the IVA register until they are revoked, completed or terminated.
