An IVA is only available in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and is not only available to Scottish residents.
However, there is a piece of Scottish legislation which offers a similar alternative which is known as a Protected Trust Deed.
What are the Differences between a Trust Deed and an IVA?
Both a Trust Deed and an IVA are legally binding contracts between the debtor and their creditors. Both are suitable for insolvent debtors who wish to avoid bankruptcy.
However there are differences between the two; a Trust Deed lasts for an average of 36 months whereas an IVA lasts for an average of 60 months. But both of these agreements allow any remaining debt to be written off at the end of the term.
