What are the requirements for an IVA?

An IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) is a legally binding debt solution in which you’ll be required to repay as much of your unsecured debt as possible over a designated period of time (normally five years), after which any remaining debt will be written off by your lenders – as long as you’ve lived up to your side of the agreement.

Entering an IVA will affect your credit rating, and if you’re a homeowner you may be required to release equity from your property – but it’s a way of clearing your debts without being declared bankrupt.

However, an IVA isn’t an option for everyone.

IVA requirements

Before you can enter an IVA, there are some important criteria you will need to meet.

1. You must have significant unsecured debts that you can’t afford to repay within a realistic period of time.
2. You must be able – in most cases – to commit to making regular payments towards an IVA for five years. (Note that you’d be required to contribute a portion of any increase in income you receive while your IVA is in progress – like payrises and bonuses.) (continue reading…)

Chemical composition of ocean changes to “unprecedented rate”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming are also acidifying the oceans at the fastest pace in hundreds of thousands of years, said Thursday the National Research Council of the United States. “The chemical composition of the ocean is changing at an unprecedented pace and scale due to emissions of carbon dioxide produced by man,” the council said. “The pace of change than any that has occurred at least in the past hundreds of thousands of years,” he said. Increased ocean acidity corrodes coral reefs, interferes with the ability of some fish species found their colonies and can cause damage to commercial shellfish such as mussels and oysters, preventing them from forming their protective shells. Corrosion occurs when carbon dioxide is absorbed by the oceans and reacts with water to produce carbonic acid. Unless the carbon dioxide emissions are contained, the oceans become more acidic, the report said. Oceans absorb about one third of all carbon dioxide emissions generated by man, including fossil fuel burning, cement production and deforestation, he said. (continue reading…)
