IVA - Right decision???

  • Hi

    Latest on the IVA / secured loan issue from the Debt Camel site

    Interesting read IMO for anyone considering an IVA or looking for information on this subject

    ...Another very good article from 'Debt Camel'.

    I take some issue with their stance on affordability: Yes, I know many IVA customers struggle, but we must take some responsibility at review time to ensure our expenditure is correctly accounted for.

    I agree wholeheartedly with their stance on long-term implications though.

    However, it could also do with mentioning that you are not able to get a secured loan for more than 70-75%LTV - just to alleviate the 'scaremongering' a little.

    ...but that's me being picky.
