CCJ - IVA - DEFAULTS
Beech Finance have put together some information to enable you to clearly know what are CCJs, IVAs or Defaults.
What Is A CCJ ?
A County Court Judgement is a judgement issued by the court when you have failed to make the payments stated in the contract of your credit agreement. The courts then set an affordable regular payment based on the individual's circumstances.
What is an IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement ?
An IVA is a legal contract between you and your creditors, it is a legally binding arrangement supervised by a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner, the purpose of which is to enable you to reach a compromise with your creditors and avoid the consequences of bankruptcy.
The IVA enables you to cut your debts to an affordable level and clear them over a fixed period. The compromise should offer a larger repayment towards your debt than could otherwise be expected were you to be made bankrupt. You can even take out a fresh mortgage while in an IVA. What’s more, it is a totally private arrangement – nobody needs to know about it apart from you, your advisors and your creditors. An IVA ensures that your home is protected and your job is not at risk.
You make one single manageable monthly payment, based on your budget, for 3-5 years. After that the remaining debt is wiped clean, leaving you completely debt-free. This means that an IVA can write off up to 75% of your debts.
However, under the terms of the agreement you undertake to contribute as much as possible within your budget. So in reality, an IVA presents an opportunity for you to pay whatever as you can in a manageable way – a way you can afford.
What is a Default ?
A default means you are in default of your obligations i.e. you have failed to make the payment of the sum that you owe. It is submitted by Credit Grantors to the Credit Bureaux. A default is held on the system at Credit Bureaux for three years and is then automatically removed. |
