Write off up to 70% of your debt with an IVA

See if you could swap all your debt payments for one you can afford. It takes two minutes.

How it works

  1. Tell us roughly what you owe

    It takes seconds, and it won’t affect your credit score.

  2. Have a chat, no judgement

    One of our friendly advisers calls you. We’ll ask what comes in and what goes out, never how you got here.

  3. Decide in your own time

    Nothing happens until you say yes. And if you’d rather do nothing for now, that’s fine too.

In our clients’ words

  • I received a great service and the staff are extremely helpful and nothing was an issue. I have also emailed a few times through the docs link and had reply within 24 hours on what I needed to do. Great Service.

Your questions, answered

  • Will this affect my credit score?

    Checking your options with us doesn’t. A debt solution is recorded on your credit file, but if you’re already missing payments your score is probably affected anyway, and you can start rebuilding once it ends.

  • How much could I write off?

    It depends on what you owe and what you can afford to repay. Some solutions write off part of what you owe; none can promise an amount in advance, and anyone who does is selling you something.

  • Will my creditors stop contacting me?

    In a formal solution like an IVA, the creditors in it have to stop contacting you once it’s approved. A Debt Management Plan is informal, so they don’t have to, though most will deal with us instead.

  • Is your advice really free?

    Yes. Your first assessment and our advice are free, with no obligation. If you go ahead with a formal solution, any fees are explained upfront before you agree. You can also get free, impartial advice from MoneyHelper.
