IVA (England, Wales, Northern Ireland)

When requested by a site visitor, referral for IVA services may be made to a recommended insolvency practitioner firm.

Our recommended IVA partner is (). A commercial relationship exists between our companies.

An insolvency practitioner will charge fees for its role as the nominee and supervisor of an IVA. A separate fee is payable for the Insolvency practitioner’s work in each of these roles. The insolvency practitioner will also charge you for various additional expenses (disbursements).

The nominee fee is a fixed fee and covers the Insolvency Practitioner’s work in setting up your proposal to your creditors. This work includes: holding an initial client meeting (by telephone or in-person), fact-finding, providing general advice, preparation of a statement of affairs, ingathering supporting documentation, preparing an IVA proposal, presenting the IVA proposal to creditors and holding the meeting of creditors.

The nominee fee charged by () is likely to be in the range of £750 to £2500 depending upon your circumstances. They will be paid the nominee fee out of the first payments you make into the IVA and these will not be paid to your creditors. This means your accounts will go into arrears (or further into arrears).

The supervisor’s fee covers work including collecting contributions, agreeing on creditor claims, making quarterly distributions to creditors, annual reporting to creditors, dealing with correspondence and queries from creditors and the client, closure of the IVA and making the final dividend payment to creditors.

The calculation of the supervisor’s costs and fees will depend upon the proposal and is therefore subject to your individual circumstances. The supervisor fee charged is likely to be 15% of your monthly contributions.

It is up to you to fix the basis of the supervisory fees as this will form part of your proposal to creditors. Creditors representing 75 per cent of the debt included in the proposal must approve the proposal, including the fees before it can be accepted. The level of the supervisor’s fees will also affect the return to your creditors under the arrangement and will, therefore, affect their decision to accept your proposal.

Warning if your IVA fails: As a significant amount of your payments into an IVA are taken first to meet your insolvency practitioner’s fees if your IVA fails you will remain liable for the balance of your debt and any insolvency practitioner fees and costs already incurred.
