Legally binding agreement
An IVA is legally binding on the debtor and the creditor. When an IVA is agreed, if you make all your monthly payments by the end of the term you should be debt free.
Writes off unaffordable debt
An IVA writes of the debt you cannot afford. This can be as much as 70% or even more. However, the % is not important - what is most important is that an IVA is the appropriate solution for you.
Smaller monthly payments
As you only pay what you can afford your monthly payments will be smaller than those currently demanded by your creditors.
