Hi, To set up an IVA you need to aproach an IP (insolvency practitioner) & there will be fees but only once the IVA is approved.

Indeed that is correct, an IVA cannot be administered without fees being charged.

A good place to start is to visit www.iva.com and have a look round there. Take time to speak to 2 or 3 providers who will explain ALL the options open to you and you can then make up your own mind from there.

you need to find a IP company look at IVA.com and all the information is on there. i never paid anything upfront they take the payment out of your IVA payments once it has been approved and you start paying in to your IVA.

If you decide not to use a firm recommended on here, be warned that there are some out there who will charge you a fee to set up your IVA, just make sure before you commit yourself that you are happy with the company you have chosen, and make sure that all of your options are explained to you.

You will have to pay fees for your IVA as others have said, but these are taken into account with your payments.
