An IVA reduces debts by up to 95% (dependant on debt total & circumstances) with the repayment period lasting a maximum of 60 months.
The individual must be resident in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. The ‘Trust Deed’ is similar to an IVA, but subject to the Law courts in Scotland, for debt in excess of £10,000 and over a three year period.
