To have an IVA approved at the Creditors Meeting, more than 75% in value, of the creditors must approve the arrangement. If this figure is not reached and creditors who may not have already voted cannot be persuaded to vote in favour, then the arrangement would be rejected.
When the IVA proposal is being put together, the Practitioner will make sure that the dividends that individual creditors seek in an IVA are met where possible. It is not his intention to offer you an IVA if he does not think that there is a good chance of it being accepted. Remember, the Insolvency Practitioner is working on your behalf, and their aim is to give you best advice.
There are certain creditors who require specific dividends over the 5 years. In the main, most creditors would look to at least 25% of their money back through the IVA, however the Insolvency Practitioner will be able to assess the latest requirements of the creditors involved before putting forward the proposal.
f a debt is quite new, then there is a risk that a creditor will reject the IVA proposal. If the creditor thinks, that the debtor obtained the money when they knew they couldn’t afford to repay it, then this could be seen as having fraudulently obtained money.
