An individual voluntary arrangement begins with a proposal based on your financial circumstances and how much you are realistically able to afford to contribute towards an IVA, either on a monthly basis or from other assets you may own. The proposal is presented to the court and then to Creditors.

How does it work?

We tell the court the details of your proposal. A meeting of creditors is held, the date of the meeting and details of the proposals being sent to your creditors. Only those creditors who had notice of the meeting are bound by the arrangement, so it is important that you have accurate records of all your creditors’ names and addresses. Otherwise, the arrangement might fail because we cannot contact all the creditors and, therefore, bind them to it.

At the meeting, the creditors vote on whether to accept your proposals. If enough creditors (over 75% in value of the creditors present in person or by proxy, and voting on the resolution) vote in favour, the proposals are accepted. They are then binding on all creditors who had notice of, and were entitled to vote at, the meeting.

We supervise the arrangement and pay the creditors in accordance with the accepted proposal.

What will an individual voluntary arrangement cost?

We cannot give estimates of the cost of the arrangement which is paid for out of the Arrangement.

When can you make an individual voluntary arrangement?

It is better and cheaper for you to set up an individual voluntary arrangement before you become bankrupt, but you can propose one afterwards.

Are there any restrictions?

There is no maximum or minimum level of debt and no maximum or minimum level of repayments, except what is acceptable to your creditors. An arrangement might particularly suit you if:

• you have friends or relatives prepared to help pay or contribute towards paying your debts;

• your income enables you to pay regular sums to creditors.

What are the advantages of an individual voluntary arrangement compared to going bankrupt?

• It gives you more say in how your assets are dealt with and how payments are made to creditors. You may be able to persuade your creditors to allow you to retain certain assets (such as your home). You will obviously have to act responsibly and flexibly in order to reach agreement with your creditors.

• You avoid the restrictions which apply to a bankrupt

• Because you will not have to pay some of the fees and expenses which are charged in a bankruptcy, the overall costs are likely to be less.

Can an individual voluntary arrangement be proposed by a member of a partnership?

Yes. You can propose an individual voluntary arrangement on your own which must take into account the claims that the creditors of the partnership have against you personally. It will not affect the rights of the partnership creditors to take action against the partnership itself or against any other partner.

Alternatively, you and your partner(s) may wish to propose an arrangement involving the partnership creditors and the personal creditors of the partners. This can be done in two ways:

• the partners may propose interlocking voluntary arrangements, with each partner making proposals for their own debts and the debts of the partnership; or

• the partnership may propose a partnership voluntary arrangement (usually accompanied by voluntary arrangements for each partner).

We can help you to make proposals to creditors.

Warning: If you enter a voluntary arrangement but fail to give full details of your assets and debts or fail to do what you have agreed under the arrangement, then the insolvency practitioner, or any creditor bound by it, may still petition for your bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy
Do you need to know more information on this subject then read on, for more information on related articles visit our home page
What is bankruptcy?
Bankruptcy is one way of dealing with debts you cannot pay. The bankruptcy proceedings will free you from overwhelming debts so you can make a fresh start, subject to some restrictions; and make sure your assets are shared out fairly among your creditors. Anyone can go bankrupt, including individual members of a partnership.
How are you made bankrupt?
A court makes a bankruptcy order only after a bankruptcy petition has been presented. It is usually presented either by yourself (debtor’s petition); or by one or more creditors who are owed at least £750 by you and that amount is unsecured (creditor’s petition).
Bankruptcy petitions are usually presented at a county court near to where you trade or live or at the High Court in London.
What happens to my assets?
You will no longer control your assets.

You can keep the following items unless their individual value is more than the cost of a reasonable replacement: tools, books, vehicles and other items of equipment which you need to use personally in your employment, business or vocation; clothing, bedding, furniture, household equipment and other basic items you and your family need in the home. The Official Receiver or any insolvency practitioner who is appointed as trustee will take control of all your other assets on the making of the bankruptcy order. He will dispose of them and use the money to pay the fees, costs and expenses of the bankruptcy and then your creditors.
What happens to my home?
If you own your home, whether freehold or leasehold, solely or jointly, mortgaged or otherwise, your interest in the home will form part of your estate which will be dealt with by your trustee. The home may have to be sold to go towards paying your debts.
If your husband, wife or children are living with you, it may be possible for the sale in the bankruptcy to be put off until after the end of the first year of your bankruptcy. This gives time for other housing arrangements to be made. Your husband, wife, partner, a relative or friend may be able to buy your interest in your home from the trustee. Such a purchase would prevent a sale of the property by the trustee at a future date. Your spouse or any other interested party should be encouraged to take legal advice about the home as soon as possible.

Finance Matters ( What you need to know )
Do you need to know more information on these subject then read on, for more information on related articles visit our home page
What are charge cards

A charge card is similar to a credit card except it must be paid off monthly rather than having option to carry balances forward.
Administration Order

Administration - this is a court procedure that gives a company some breathing space from any action by creditors. A court can grant an administration order to enable the company to survive, in whole or in part, as an ongoing business; organise a voluntary arrangement or compromise with its creditors or get a better realisation of assets than would be possible if the company went into liquidation.
Liquidation

There are three forms of liquidation

Compulsory Liquidation

This occurs when a company is wound up by an order of the court

Creditors Voluntary Liquidation

This is an arrangement where the directors ask the creditors to approve the winding up of the company because they have decided that the company cannot continue to trade and cannot pay its debts in full.

Members Voluntary Liquidation

This form of liquidation is used where the company is able to pay it's debts in full, but the members wish to realise their investment.
Dissolving a private limited company:

This is a simple task, requiring completion of a form 652A, available from Companies House. The form is returned to Companies House together with a small processing fee and the Company is then dissolved three months later. Please note that only Companies with no debts can be dissolved.
What are mortgage arrears

Mortgage arrears arise when you fail to pay your mortgage on time. It is important if this has happened, or is likely to happen, that you contact your mortgage provider as soon as possible.

Redundancy:

If you are made redundant by your employer then you still have legal rights as an employee in the UK. You have the right to alternative employment if there are any other jobs in the Company and you are suitable for this work, the right to trial periods for new jobs and the right to time off to look for another job.If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed you may be able to make a tribunal claim against the company.
All about bailiffs

A bailiff works on behalf of the court to collect monies due to creditors. Bailiffs work to a strict set of rules, but are empowered by the Court to remove goods from premises they visit. These goods will then be sold to pay the Bailiff’s fees and the debts concerned.
What are guarantors

A guarantor is a person who promises to repay a loan if the original borrower fails to do so. You should be very careful when considering being a guarantor for someone.
Joint & Several Liability

If you have taken out a credit agreement jointly with another person or have joint bank accounts, then both of you are liable for the full amount of the debt that has been accumulated. If the loan is not repaid, even though you have paid your share, the loan company can still come to you for the other person’s share.
Pawn Brokers

A Pawn Broker will lend you money against your goods, such as jewellery. You can redeem your goods by paying off the original debt plus interest. If you fail to repay the loan the Pawn Broker may sell your goods.
When to seek advice:

We would suggest you seek advice if you feel uncomfortable about the level of your debts or are receiving letters from your creditors. You should seek help as soon as possible as creditors prefer to know what is happening.

County Court Judgements (CCJ')

A County Court Judgement (CCJ) is a judgement for debt. If a judgement is settled within 30 days of the date of the judgement it will not appear on the credit register. If this is not the case then you will have a CCJ on your credit record which can make it difficult to obtain large amounts of credit.
Company Voluntary Arrangements

If a Company gets into financial trouble it may be able to avoid winding up by entering into an arrangement with its creditors. This arrangement is similar to an Individual Voluntary Arrangement
Illness:

If you become seriously ill you may not be able to make payments to anyone you owe money to. Always contact the lenders as soon as possible and explain the situation to them. You may be able to stop payments for a period, or they may reduce the charges for interest. It is vital that you contact them at an early stage so they can explain the options open to you.

Loan Companies:

When looking for a loan you should always check on the lender. You should ensure the lender is licensed by the Office of Fair Trading and that they are a reputable firm.

Ask yourself these questions:

Have you shopped around to get the best deal for you?

Will this borrowing still seem like a good decision in a year or two?

Do you understand the terms and conditions of the deal?

If you don't have money to spare now, how will you find the money to make the repayments?

Have you looked at how much money you have coming in and how much you are spending? Use our financial calculator to work out your finances.

Have you thought hard about the effects of the extra financial commitment?

Could you manage if you lost your job or had your overtime cut?

What if you have a pay cut or can't work?

What if prices or interest rates go up?
Property Repossession

If you fail to make repayments on your mortgage or do not contact your mortgage provider, they may apply for an order to repossess and sell your home. We may be able to help in discussions you have with the mortgage provider, or there may be other options we can consider.
Statutory Demand

A statutory demand is a written demand for payment of a sum due, served by a creditor on a company or individual. In order that the company or individual has every opportunity to respond, information must be given in the statutory demand as to its purpose, usually winding-up in the case of a company, or bankruptcy in the case of an individual and the name, address and telephone number of a person with whom contact can be made.
Debt Factoring

This involves selling your invoices to a third party company. In return they will process the invoices and allow you to draw funds against money owed to your business. This is commonly used to improve cash flow but can also sometimes reduce overheads.
Informal Arrangement

If you know that you cannot pay all your debts, you could consider writing to your individual creditors to see if you can reach some compromise. Include a timetable of when you will repay them. The disadvantage with an informal arrangement is that it is not legally binding so your creditors could ignore it later and ask you to pay in full. Your local Citizens Advice Bureau can advise and help you make this kind of arrangement
Lost or Stolen Credit Cards

If you believe you have lost your credit card or have had it stolen then you should telephone your card provider immediately.
Receivership

When a company borrows money, the lender is usually given some security over the company in order to guarantee payment. If the company fails to keep to the terms or if they get into financial difficulties the lender may be entitled to appoint an administrative receiver. An administrative receiver is an insolvency practitioner who has control of the whole, or a substantial part, of the company’s property and wide powers over the business. The administrative receiver is mainly concerned with getting back the money owed to the secured creditor. The administrative receiver may sell the assets piecemeal, or sell the whole business as a going concern to pay off the secured creditor, and the costs of receivership.

Student Debt:

This can be a problem for graduates and those still studying. The Student Loans most students have are not repayable until you are earning over £15,000.00 per year, and your employer will then deduct the repayments from your wages. It is very tempting to use credit cards for daily purchases, but remember that these debts will need to be repaid. If you make only the minimum payment each month, the length of time it will take to pay of the whole balance will significantly increase.

Many people throughout the united kingdom are worried about visits from bailiffs, they do not understand there rights when they are confronted with bailiffs, here we will give a brief overlay of your rights and the rights of the bailiffs.
You may think that a bailiff can just come in your house forcefully in order to take goods to sell on in an auction but this is not true, a true bailiff is a person that has been hired by a solicitor in order to receive goods from you in a none aggressive manner, in order to even enter the house they must go to court in order to get permission, once they have got this they still cannot forcefully enter your house, they may enter the house if the doors or widows are open and entering will not damage any of the items within the house, they may also force there way past you if the door is open and you are in the way.
Once inside they may take none essential goods in order to pay off debts on behalf our the creditors, if they cannot gain none forceful entry to your house they may go back to court in order to be granted access through forceful means, if this is granted they will have police officers with them, they are not to help in the process of the receiving of items they are there to protect the safety of the bailiffs and yourself.
Some bailiffs may offer the chance for you to still have the item but not own the item until you have repaid the money owed to the creditors, if you feel that you have been done wrongfully by the bailiff company you may complain.

Poor Management - A company with poor management skills will not be able to run efficiently as if the management is running wrong then this will eventually go down to the staff members and production will be lost, if you wish to have a strong team, it must start with the management, rewarding those who are doing well and telling other where they are going wrong and helping them to better themselves. If employees appreciate you as a good boss then they will work harder. Try implemented reward scheme such as employee of the month in order to further help the team produce the most they possibly can.

An Act to amend the Insolvency Act 1986 in relation to contracts of employment adopted by administrators, administrative receivers and certain other receivers; and to make corresponding provision for Northern Ireland.
 
[24th March 1994]

Be it enacted by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

Administrators: priority of liabilities under adopted contracts of employment.

1.—(1) Section 19 of the [1986 c. 45.] Insolvency Act 1986 (vacation of office) shall be amended as provided by subsections (2) to (6) below.

(2) In subsection (3) (which provides for the next two subsections to apply where a person ceases to be administrator) for "next two" there shall be substituted "following".

(3) In subsection (5) (which provides for certain debts and liabilities incurred during administration, including those incurred under contracts of employment adopted by the administrator, to be charged on the company's property in priority to his remuneration and expenses) the words "or contracts of employment adopted" shall be omitted.

(4) After the first paragraph of that subsection there shall be inserted—
"(6) Any sums payable in respect of liabilities incurred, while he was administrator, under contracts of employment adopted by him or a predecessor of his in the carrying out of his or the predecessor's functions shall, to the extent that the liabilities are qualifying liabilities, be charged on and paid out of any such property as is mentioned in subsection (4) and enjoy the same priority as any sums to which subsection (5) applies."

(5) The second paragraph of that subsection (which provides that an administrator is not to be taken to have adopted a contract of employment by reason of any acts or omissions within 14 days after his appointment) shall become the second paragraph of the subsection inserted by subsection (4) above.

(6) At the end of the section there shall be inserted—
(7) For the purposes of subsection (6), a liability under a contract of employment is a qualifying liability if—
