IVA Fees Explained

If you enter an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), there will be fees involved. These are standard across all IVA providers and are only charged if your IVA is approved. All costs are
included in your agreed monthly payment, so there are no separate bills.

The fees typically cover:
- Nominee’s Fee: for setting up your IVA and preparing the proposal.
- Supervisor’s Fee: for managing your IVA throughout its duration.
- Costs and Expenses: administrative charges agreed by your creditors.

The exact level of fees is decided by your creditors and may sometimes be reclaimed from the arrangement. Importantly, you will not be charged any fees if your IVA is not approved.

By choosing an IVA, you can spread payments into one affordable monthly plan, with fees already built in, giving you peace of mind and clear debt management.

IVA Nominee’s Fees

When setting up an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), a licensed insolvency practitioner acts as your Nominee.

The Nominee’s fee covers the professional work required to prepare and propose your IVA, including:
- Drafting your IVA proposal: outlining the terms of your arrangement and providing creditors with a full overview of your financial situation.
- Organising the creditors’ meeting: where your proposal is reviewed and voted on.

The Nominee’s fee usually ranges between £1,750 and £1,900, though it may be capped by your creditors. This fee is normally paid first from your IVA contributions, before any repayments are distributed to creditors.

This ensures that all the legal and administrative work needed to set up your IVA

IVA Supervisor’s Fees

Once your Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA) is approved, a licensed insolvency practitioner will act as your supervisor. The Supervisor’s fees cover the ongoing management of your IVA, ensuring that your monthly contributions are collected and distributed fairly to creditors.

These fees may be charged in different ways:
- A fixed amount,
- A percentage of the realisations (payments made into your IVA), or
- A combination of both.
Typically, Supervisor’s fees are around 15–18% of any money received, including:
- Your regular IVA monthly contributions,
- Assets or windfalls (e.g. equity in your property, successful PPI mis-selling claims, or inheritance received during the IVA term).

Alternatively, the fee may be set as £1,750 plus 15% of additional funds received outside of your agreed monthly payments.

By covering these administrative costs, Supervisor’s fees ensure your IVA is managed smoothly and creditors are paid in line with the terms of your arrangement.

IVA Disbursements & Costs

Disbursements are third-party payments made to cover essential expenses when setting up and running an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA)
 
These may include:
- The cost of registering your IVA with the Insolvency Service.
- The required insurance bond, which is a legal safeguard.

The exact disbursement fees will always be outlined clearly in your IVA proposal. These costs must be approved by your creditors and, in some cases, may be adjusted before the proposal is formally accepted.

By law, disbursements are necessary to ensure that your IVA is legally compliant, secure, and properly registered, giving both you and your creditors peace of mind.
