    no you dont, but one of the most obvious advantages of an IVA over bankruptcy is that you can protect equity in your home
    Hi, im Debtinfo, i am an ex insolvency examiner and over the years have personally dealt with thousands of bankruptcy cases.
    Please note that any views i put forth are not those of my former employer The Insolvency Service and do not constitute professional advice, you should always seek professional advice before entering insolvency proceedings.

    No, we only rent (housing association) and we were accepted. We were told we were in a good position because we had a reliable amount of money coming in but no assets.
