Hi Terry,

With bankruptcy, your debts are discharged after 1 year, but you may pay your surplus income to the OR for 3 years.

With an IVA, you have to complete it to have any debts written off, but depending on your circumstances, it could protect certain assets, but I couldn't advise if this was the best route without knowing your exact situation.

With both bankruptcy and an IVA, they will stay on your credit file for 6 years. With regards to mortages, I would pop over to our sister site, iva.co.uk and speak to Ryan who is a mortgage expert listed on there, he may be able to tell you what chances you may have getting a mortgage afterwards.

Please also speak to an expert for some debt advice.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay but have seen a friends financial advise who advises a soft option would be an IVA. This would mean some banks may consider offering a mortgage at the end of the IVA.

Problem is an IVA can last 60 months which is a long time as I would like to like to be debt free at the maximum after 2 years.

Can you advise please ?

Many Thanks

Terry

Hi Terry,

Welcome to the forum.

Bankruptcy may be an option if you can not afford to repay your debts, but there are other options too depending on your circumstances.

I suggest you speak to an expert on here to chat everything through.
