Why Not Just Try To Pay My Creditors in Bits and Pieces?

Many individuals who run into financial difficulty will make a valiant attempt to try to pay back what they owe. Most people are honest and want to meet their obligations but the problem is there may not be enough funds to do it at the current rate of payments, and debtors have difficulties trying to negotiate something workable with creditors.

This is the importance of IVA’s. Many times unsecured debts have high interest rates. Even if you are attempting to make payments chances are you are not even able to cover the interest rates so it just keeps climbing and being added on to the amount you owe. You are fighting a losing battle. With IVA’s that all stops. Once the negotiations with the creditors have taken place, and they have agreed to an IVA all the accruing interest stops.

The whole mandate of an IVA is to comprise an agreement that makes everybody happy. The monthly payments are worked out in such a way that you can afford them without have to eat just bread and water for the next few years. Your creditors are content because although they may not be getting everything they are owed they are at least getting back an amount that they are satisfied with. In addition, they do not have to be paying staff to track down debtors or pay legal fees or court costs. Creditors are usually much easier to negotiate with when they see that the debtor is not trying to getting out of paying and in fact has a genuine interest to pay their debts. They also get to understand the financial situation of the individual and realize their financial constraints as well. All of these things make it workable for both parties.
