Changes in the fee structures charged by Insolvency Practitioners have raised the viability of IVAs now being possible for individuals with debts as low as £12,000. Prior to this recent change the perceived industry minimum to ensure the financial viability of an IVA was for the debt owed to be at least £15,000.
This recent change is to be welcomed as it raises the distinct possibility that more people will be honoutrable enough to pay off at least a proportion of their debt, rather than going bankrupt.
