    "IVA" stands for "Individual Voluntary Agreement", which is an agreement between yourself and the creditors involved, as to how much you can pay towards your debts; the amounts paid back per month are normally lower than they would be otherwise, but the IVA affects your future credit rating. I'm no expert on the matter, so I may have that a bit wrong (I'm sure I'll be corrected if so).

    Also, it can take time for responses to come in, even on a busy forum such as this; patience is a virtue :D

  • I wouldn't have thought you would have an IVA unless you have been to a specialist financial type person. I think you would know if you had an IVA - you sound more likely to be on a debt management plan (DMP).

    Doesn't sound like it - sounds like you have an informal agreement with your creditors. You'd know if you were in an IVA.

  • Thanks, sorry I am new to all this debt terminology:rotfl:

    I don't have one then, just a DMP, but my DMP isn't through anyone, I set it up myself
