Effect on Your Credit

If you avail an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) to handle your debt troubles, your credit rating will undeniably be adversely affected. This is a major apprehension felt by debtors who decide to enter into an IVA programme. Your credit rating will be much poorer if your mounting debts spiral out of control and your last recourse is to go bankrupt. We at ‘Debt Management Info’ are an online debt consolidation and IVA arranger helping customers in choosing better alternatives according to their financial conditions. Here we are trying to show the Effect on your credit post IVA.
 

How is credit rating repaired?

  • In fact, availing an IVA can help the debtor’s credit rating in the long term. If you are unable to pay off your debts over a longer time period, it is quite apparent that some or even all your creditors will finally take some legal action against you in court by applying for a CCJ or County Court Judgement.
  • Generally, a CCJ against you will remain on your credit records for roughly 6 years. A CCJ can be highly destructive to your credit rating and can cause enduring damage.
  • However, if you enter into an IVA in an early stage, your creditors are less likely to apply for a CCJ as there will be little point in doing so.
  • Creditors generally prefer not to go to the lengths of applying for CCJ's as they are hesitant to incur the costs associated with the application.
  • The majority of debtors who take on an Individual Voluntary Arrangement usually complete them successfully within a period of about 5 years.
  • As soon as you have effectively completed your IVA, you will be given a Certificate of Completion by the insolvency practitioner who is supervising your debts.
