When the individual voluntary arrangement is negotiated it includes a number of points, one of which is about what will happen to the property. The independent financial adviser should be able to explain in more detail that point. This can include the fact that he/she will work out and manage the company’s finances for a set number of months and if no progress has been made by then, or because the company has not been paying their rent, then any property owned cannot be sold until after that time.

What is an IVA?
An individual voluntary arrangement is a formal agreement between an individual and their creditors that allows the debtor to repay their debts over a period of time. It’s like filing for bankruptcy without going through the court process.
Who should apply for an IVA?
The Bankruptcy Act of 1998 introduced a new type of debt relief, the individual voluntary arrangement (IVA). This form of debt resolution is available for individuals who are in financial difficulty and owe money to creditors. This can include creditors such as banks, building societies, credit card companies or other lenders.
How do you qualify for an IVA?
First we need to find out who qualifies for an iva. In order to qualify for an IVA, you must be making payments on time and have a debt of $150,000 or less. You also have to have a good credit score, which includes paying all your bills on time, not getting in any serious debt, and not having any judgments against you.
Where can you apply for your IVA?
If you are considering filing for an IVA, you will need to file with the Insolvency Service Office. There are two ways that you can go about applying for your IVA:
1) You can call or visit the Insolvency Service Office and file your application on site.
2) You can fill out an online form and submit your application.
How long does it take to process your application?
You can apply for an individual voluntary arrangement at any time. It usually takes about a month and a half, but the time depends on your financial situation and the complexity of your case. You can also apply for a short-term IVA once every six months if you feel like your situation is changing.
What documents will I need with my application?
Individuals who have unique and complex financial issues will likely be best served by filing for an individual voluntary arrangement. These arrangements are available only to financially distressed debtors. They can receive a last-chance offer from creditors if they fail to repay their debts on time or meet the terms of their agreements. In return, debtors agree to make regular payments over a set period of time.
Conclusion
A VIA is a voluntary arrangement that can help you get out of debt. It’s ideal for people who have already tried bankruptcy and want to avoid it in the future. The good thing about this option is that your creditors won’t hold a public record of your personal bankruptcy. You’ll still need to file certain documents with a federal court, but you won’t require personal bankruptcy protection.
