Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

An IVA can be over any time agreed at the outset, most commonly 5 years. However, some creditors, mainly Northern Rock (NRAM), insist on 6 years as a base term. Some will also ask for extended terms if the dividend is low, compared to the original debt.
Remember, also, that id you start out at 6 years, it still can be extended to 7 if equity has to be addressed.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
