Compare Your Financial Options

Understanding the different financial solutions available can help you make more informed decisions based on your individual circumstances. Fair Vantage works with licensed and FCA authorised financial partners to help connect individuals with suitable support and services where appropriate.

Our role is to simplify the process by helping users explore available options and connect with trusted providers for further guidance and assessment.

What is an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)?

An Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is a formal agreement between an individual and their creditors to repay debts through affordable monthly payments over a fixed period, usually five to six years. IVAs are managed by licensed Insolvency Practitioners and are designed to help individuals dealing with unaffordable unsecured debt.

Once approved, interest and charges on included debts are typically frozen, and creditors included within the arrangement generally cannot take further recovery action. At the end of the arrangement, any remaining qualifying debt may be written off, provided all agreed terms have been maintained.

Fair Vantage works with licensed and FCA authorised financial partners who can assess whether an IVA may be a suitable option based on individual circumstances.

Potential Benefits

One structured monthly payment

Interest and charges may be frozen

Protection from further creditor action on included debts

Remaining qualifying debt may be written off upon successful completion

Managed by licensed professionals

What is a Debt Management Plan (DMP)?

A Debt Management Plan (DMP) is an informal arrangement that allows individuals to repay unsecured debts through affordable monthly payments. It is commonly used for debts such as credit cards, personal loans, and overdrafts.

A DMP combines repayments into a single monthly payment, helping make finances easier to manage. Depending on circumstances, creditors may agree to reduce or freeze interest and charges.

Fair Vantage may connect individuals with authorised financial partners who can provide further information and support regarding Debt Management Plans and other available solutions.

Potential Benefits

One manageable monthly payment

Simplified repayment structure

Flexibility if financial circumstances change

Potential reduction or freezing of interest and charges

Ongoing support through the arrangement

What is a Debt Relief Order (DRO)?

A Debt Relief Order (DRO) is a formal debt solution designed for individuals with low levels of debt, limited assets, and low disposable income. During the DRO period, qualifying debts are paused and creditors cannot pursue further recovery action.

If an individual’s financial situation remains unchanged during the qualifying period, eligible debts may be written off at the end of the arrangement.

Fair Vantage works with authorised partners who can assess whether a DRO or another option may be suitable based on individual financial circumstances.

Potential Benefits

Temporary pause on qualifying debt repayments

Interest and charges may be frozen

Protection from creditor action during the arrangement period

Eligible debts may be written off if criteria continue to be met

What is Bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy is a formal legal process designed for individuals who are unable to repay their debts and where other solutions may not be suitable. It can provide relief from unmanageable financial obligations by freezing qualifying debts and preventing further recovery action from creditors.

Bankruptcy usually lasts for a set period, after which qualifying debts may be discharged, subject to compliance with all legal requirements. However, bankruptcy can have significant financial and credit implications and may not be suitable for everyone.

Fair Vantage works with licensed and FCA authorised financial partners who can provide further guidance regarding bankruptcy and alternative financial solutions.

Potential Considerations

Can provide relief from unmanageable debt

Qualifying debts may be discharged after completion

May affect credit rating and financial activities

Certain assets or income may be reviewed as part of the process
