It is a good idea to have a chat with an insolvency practitioner to find out what options there are available to you. Whether an IVA is suitable will largely be dependent upon the level of your disposable income and any assets you may own. Please post some more details so we can be more specific.

IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
I came out of a relationship at the end of last year. There was domestic violence in the relationship where my x-partner used violence towards me so I left him. We had a house together so that had to be sold.
Before this happened he went bankrupt and now the house has been sold I am being told by the mortgage company that I owe what is owing.
In total I owe around 36,000 pounds to Northern Roack, 1500 pounds to one credit card company, 600 pounds to another credit card company, a 900 pounds loan and a cataulogue with 170 pounds on.

It really depends whether you want to pay something back towards these debts Hannah - and importantly whether you can afford to.
If so, then an IVA can be a great way of doing this, as creditors are not allowed to take ongoing legal action against you nor charge interest. However, in light of your obvious need to have a fresh start - away from all of the demons from the past, debtwise and relationshipwise, I would definataly give bankruptcy proceedings some very serious thought.
I seem to be doing a lot of IVAs at the moment where the main debt is a mortgage shortfall, and have to say that they are all getting accepted.
