If you are looking for an IVA company then you should be choosy in the marketplace. There are so many companies advertising the best debt solutions in the world that it is hard to know which one to choose if you happen to be panicking about your finances, let alone taking the time to check into the individual company's background. However, most debt solutions rely on a gentlemans agreement rather than actually providing you with the peace of mind that a fixed and legally binding agreement can bring.

An IVA company will help you deal with your Insolvency Practitioner (IP). The IP is the person who will be in charge of your IVA - you will want to have one with a good reputation. It is hard to find and deal with a good IP, so getting a good IVA company will give you some piece of mind with you debt solution.

Follow the advice below in order to save time and frustration:

1. Do you know people who have gotten their IVAs already? Get a recommendations so you know which companies you might want to go with and which you want to avoid.

2. Phone around various companies before agreeing to meet with two or three. This ensures that your options are not limited and gives you a good feel of what you should be looking for. If you are not comfortable when talking to an advisor on the phone then you should scratch that particular IVA company off your list because they will probably not be very interested in helping you.

3. Don't pay for the initial consultation. The initial consultation and paperwork should be free of charge. Before any work is done, make sure that the IVA company does a thorough analysis of your financial situation. This is very important.

4. Never choose a company that guarantees you an IVA. Until the majority of companies that you hold debts with have agreed to the IVA then your application may still be rejected. The companies that say otherwise are only after your money. Also, beware of those stating that you will only have a low premium at the end of it because if it sounds too good to be true then it most likely is!

5. The last important point is that you should look for a refund guarantee on any payments that you need to make before the IVA is completed. If you don't get such a guarantee and your IVA is turned down, the IVA company does not have to give you your money back. If you make sure that you get such a guarantee, you save yourself money and aggravation in the future.
