No, and you would not need one as you will have no debts to roll into the arrangement.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

You can get an IVA to get you out of bankruptcy but once discharged you cannot apply for one. The IVA will annul the bankruptcy once approved but this is a specialised area and you need expert advice.

Ah. Thank you Michael. Hadn't thought of using the IVA to annul the bankruptcy (as you say, could be a bit of a minefield). I was imagining a completely different ( and altogether unlikely) scenario .

It is a bit complicated Foggy but we have done a few. It is certainly better [and much cheaper] to get the IVA in place before the bankruptcy order is made!

This is a question on my mind as I know someone who has done just this - bankrupt in August and IVA in December??
I know I am a good person, I just need to start believing it

See my blog - Life was a misery until now
