The Ultimate Guide To Debt Relief
It is quick - all included debts are written off after 12 months. Outstanding personal tax liabilities can be included in a DRO. A DRO is a matter of public record - details of a DRO are listed on the Insolvency Service website, which the public can access. An improvement in financial circumstances during the DRO term could result in the DRO being revoked, meaning alternative arrangements to repay debts would need to be made - bankruptcy.
Only debts included in the DRO will be discharged at the end of the 12 month period. Any other debts will remain outstanding. An IVA is a legal agreement between you and your creditors (debt relief). It enables you to prepare an offer of what you can realistically afford to repay over an agreed period of time, typically five or six years.
On completion of the IVA, your remaining debts are written off. It is a formal insolvency procedure. If an IVA is right for you, ClearStart can offer this service. Regardless of who you choose to implement an IVA, fees will be charged for the work done in setting it up and managing it throughout its duration.

With ClearStart these fees, taken in two parts (a Nominee and Supervisors Fee), are taken as part of the contributions you make into your IVA, therefore no additional costs to make. Some companies charge upfront fees, but with ClearStart it won’t cost anything if the creditors don’t agree with your IVA.
Find our more about the pros and cons of an IVA. Possession of property will still be held, (as long as mortgage/any secured loan payments are kept up), however homeowners may need to release equity from the value of their homes to pay off debts, and a remortgage may attract higher interest rates, or if no remortgage is available, an Individual Voluntary Arrangement may be extended for 12 months (In line with expenditure restrictions of an IVA).
Apart from sending regular statements, they will not be able to contact you regarding your debts. No upfront payment is required to access the solution with ClearStart, other providers may charge fees. A Nominee fee and Supervisory fee are both payable once the solution is active. These are taken from the monthly contributions and any assets you pay into the Arrangement.
What Does Debt Support Mean?
An IVA is a matter of public record - details of the IVA are listed on the Insolvency Service website, which the public can access. A failure to meet IVA repayments or obligations could result in the IVA failing and creditors may decide to order bankruptcy proceedings. Only unsecured debts that are included in the IVA will be discharged at the end of your plan’s duration.
An IVA must be approved by your creditors (75% by value of your creditors). In instances where creditors do not approve your IVA proposal alternatives solutions will be considered with you. A remortgage is releasing equity from your home. This could be by remortgage, secured loan or ‘equity release’ (debt specialists). Below are some of the main advantages and things to consider.
Releasing equity in a home by remortgaging can be used to pay off unsecured debts. A remortgage will be one single payment which puts all debts and mortgage into one. The interest charge for a secured loan is typically lower than that applied to unsecured credit agreements. Your home is at risk if you do not keep up with mortgage payments.

When remortgaging, there may be an early settlement charge (‘Early Redemption Charge’) as the current mortgage is paid off before the end of its term. Remortgaging to pay off debt could affect future remortgaging/moving house. Mortgage rates may rise in future, and extending the mortgage now could lead to higher rates when remortgaging/buying being offered in future.

Things about Debt Relief
Debt Relief Orders have many of the same advantages as bankruptcy. It usually lasts for a year (during which time your creditors can't take action against you) and at the end of that period, you'll be free of all the debts listed in the order. The main differences are that you must owe less than £20,000 and have a low disposable income (less than £50 per month after paying all your essential household expenditure).
There are restrictions on the type of debts that can be included in the order. Court fines, child maintenance and student loans will not be allowed. Debt Relief Orders are administered by the Official Receiver through the Insolvency Service (debt specialists). To apply for a DRO, you'll need to contact an authorised adviser who checks whether you meet the conditions and then applies for the order on your behalf.
If you require debt advice, there's no need to wait or book an appointment, our advisers are available Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday 9am to 3pm on .
