IVA.CO.UK DEBT DEBATE: 2ND MAY 2008
Debt debate organised by IVA.co.uk
The Debt Debate on Friday 2nd May for IVA.co.uk was a huge success and was attended by a large audience of Insolvency Practitioners, Creditors, Journalists, Industry Experts, Students and Forum Members.
As ever, the debate was set to be a controversial event in light of the current economic climate and there were notable comments about regulation of all debt solutions, including IVA’s, Bankruptcy and Debt Management Programmes.

The subject of personal insolvency, whichever solution is preferred by an individual in financial difficulty, remains immensely topical in today's post "credit-crunch" environment. I look forward to further debates on these subjects into the future, and am pleased that yet again iva.co.uk is tackling the issues in this profession from a sound practical level rather than a regulatory platform
