We receive a lot of calls and emails from the public asking; "My IVA proposal included the provision that I had to sell/realise other assets – what do I need to do?".
If you have been asked to sell or realise assets as part of the terms of your IVA, you will have to attend to this as directed by the agreement. You should arrange for the sale of the asset and the monies received from the sale, should be handed to the Supervisor of the IVA arrangement, without delay.
If the asset to be realised is for example, an endowment not linked to a property or a similar financial policy, you would be advised to contact the Provider to obtain details of surrender. Once the money has been realised, it will need to be paid into the arrangement to ensure that the terms are complied with.
You may have been asked to sell a house to realise the equity in it, for the benefit of the creditors. It is possible that this does not to have to happen until just before the IVA is due for completion, but you should check the terms of the IVA with your Supervisor.
If you wish to discuss the Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) procedure and understand how it can help you please complete the following form or telephone freephone 0800 074 6918.
