An IVA is available to people in the UK who have unsecured debt of £5,000 or more. The process typically lasts 60 months and after the agreed repayment term, all unsecured debts are written off. In Scotland, the alternative solution is known as a Trust Deed.
A Debt Management Plan allows you to repay your unsecured debts with affordable monthly payments. The interest on your debts can be frozen, and written off after you have completed an agreed payment plan.
A Debt Relief Order is a way to write off debts you can't afford. It's aimed at people with a low income and few assets, and is more straightforward than bankruptcy. After the 12 month term, all unsecured debts are written off. The alternative in Scotland is known as a Minimal Asset Process.
