We are appalled at the behaviour of the biggest organisation representing creditors in IVAs – TIX. Individual Voluntary Arrangements (IVAs) are supposed to be accepted by creditors when they are affordable, achievable and represents the debtors’ best efforts. They are supposed to be the best a person can do to repay as much as possible of the debts. It’s a five year commitment (usually) and its pretty fair for both sides – but it isn’t supposed to be set at a level that makes life horribly hard.
