What is a Full & Final IVA
Table of contents
If for whatever reason you have received a sum of money, no matter how small or large, you may be able to use that to pay your creditors in a Full & Final IVA.
Today I am going to explain what a Full & Final IVA is and discuss the criteria of it.
What is a Full & Final IVA?
In brief, with an IVA you make an offer to repay your creditors a percentage of the debt that you owe. For example if you owe £50,000 you would need approximately £10,500 to offer a dividend that creditors may accept.
With a Full & Final IVA, everything is done exactly the same; instead of making an offer for 60 monthly payments you will offer one payment, however your creditors may put forward modifications depending on your surplus.
You would have to submit proof of the funds that you are using for your IVA and you would need to do this on top of the other documentation that is also needed for your IVA proposals.
I have been made redundant & received a pay out.
If you have received a windfall such as a redundancy pay out then you may be able to keep a certain amount of the funds before putting the rest of them in an offer to your creditors. If you have been made redundant and have received a pay out and are still seeking new employment then it may be a possibility for you to keep some of the money that you receive in order to pay your bills and other expenses. In these circumstances, you need to make sure that you are offering a realistic amount to your creditors otherwise they could ask for the full amount. The equity clause that is in standard IVAs does not apply to a Full & Final IVA. You will make one payment only and then your IVA will be complete. However if you have substantial equity in your property then your creditors may decide to ask for this to be included.
Although you only make one payment, IVA will stay on your credit file for six years and as with all IVA’s you will still need to be regarded as insolvent.

Was reading about full and final IVA, I do not have any money to do it at the moment, but if I should ever get any, can you do it on an existing IVA and what % would we be looking at?
It you were on an existing IVA you could then complete early with the full and final settlement but this would depend on your circumstances as well as depend on where the funds came from. It would be difficult to give a percentage as all IVA’s work on an individual basis, so it would depend on your personal circumstances.
We made a full and final payment with the equity from our property we sold. The entire equity went to payplan in December and as we approach April, we still haven’t recieved the outstanding amount (the equity was far greater than the debt). All the necessary paperwork has been submitted.
Is this usual? Is it not customary for payplan to keep the client in full knowledge of what is happening to their funds?
If you email me your name and postcode plus ID number I can look into this for you as I can get in touch with people for you to try and sort this out!
Hi Jo, I am also going through the same experience of what you have an no contact from Payplan since taking a huge amount of our sale of our House. Did you hear any more on this?
Jane, Can I also also ask for an update on this as surely for the amount of money this costs we should be kept fully up-to-date
Hello
I have passed your request to the manager of Payplan Partnership supervision and I am sure she will investigate. It does usually take a couple of months.
I have spoken to your case officers and you were sent a breakdown last week. I believe you did 100% IVAs due to the equity in the property. They only took the equity that was necessary to pay these so perhaps your solicitors hold more funds. I did not get a reply from Jo was not able to do any investigation there.
This is how a 100% settlement IVA works:
The total amount that needed to be paid to your creditors consisted of 100% of each of the total debts, and an element of interest. Interest is added as per the proposals, and is calculated at the statutory interest rate of 8% per annum and is accrued daily on a pro rata basis. This takes into account the debt level reducing as distributions are made to the creditors, so the daily interest reduces over the course of the IVA. During an IVA one is only expected to pay interest on one’s debts if one is in a position to repay 100% of the debt level, and fees during the term. This is why interest is applied.
Hi
I paid my Iva of in full on 26th February 2016 it’s now 29th April and I have still not received my Iva completion certificate or my completion report its been nine weeks now also my credit file should have been notified within 28 days if my final payment that my Iva has been pain in full . I should have recieved the above within 4 to 6 weeks it’s now nine weeks . I have emailed my case officer who keeps saying all my money hasn’t been distributed yet why is this . The insolvency service . Gov said I should have received everything by now and all my creditors paid of
I have checked your file and although you have paid off the debts there are still some distributions to be made. This is quite normal. The debts are cleared so you should not be chased for any debts and an IVA remains on the credit file for 6 years whether paid off early or not. However, it will reflect that it is all paid off as soon as all creditors have received their distributions and responded as they have to. I have also passed this to your case officer and management so they can respond directly to you. I can understand your frustration that things do not appear to be moving but they are – it just can take longer than the general information on the gov.uk website.
I have sent an email but the offices are closed until 3rd May due to the bank holiday.
Thank you I will wait

Hi Jane
I have spoken to someone on insolvency .gov and spoke to someone and they advised me it should take no longer then 7 weeks ?
Regards Lee
I have passed on your concerns. I canont answer any further until I hear from them and they should be replying to you too. I have also passed on your further comments today. They may well have agreed but until the final distributions are made Payplan Partnership cannot issue the certificate. I have asked them why the final distributions have not been paid also.
I tried to telephone the insolvency service yesterday and there was no response – they are not available until Tuesday either.
Thank you for your help Jane
Hopefully I shall be in touch again tomorrow.
Hello Lee, I have spoken to the IVA department and you were sent a letter last week re PPI which they need returning signed so they can issue the completion certificate. I have been told that this will be expedited – and I mean expedited – as soon as they receive this.
Hi Jane , they sent it Friday so it only came yesterday and returned on the same day
Thanks Lee
