Hi
Although IVAs are "individual" you can,and it is very common to,have them administered jointly by your IP.I have one as does my wife and she does not work.
Your proposals will be listed seperately but your income and expenses jointly assessed to provide a disposible income to pay to all your creditors,joint or not.
Speak with several companies on this site until you are fully satisfied in your own mind.

Hi tracey

Both you and your partner will need to propose your own IVA, but they are likely to be made mutual and interlocking - as Neverending says reliant upon each other with one payment being made being shared by all creditors on a pro-rata basis.

When it comes to voting, however, the creditors votes and acceptance/rejection percentages are based upon the debts in each individual estate rather than being taken as a joint aggregate sum.
