IVA Protocol

IVA Protocol

At Financial Support Systems we operate under a regulated framework to produce “protocol compliant” IVA’s for our customers under something called The Straightforward IVA Protocol. The most recent in which Financial Support Systems is proud to work to is the 2021 IVA Protocol.

For your reference we have provided access to each of the protocols issued since 2008.

These protocols are used in connection with Standard Conditions for IVA’s which apply to all IVA’s produced by Financial Support Systems where they were approved after 1st February 2016.

Financial Support Systems provides insolvency solutions to individuals, specialising in IVAs. We do not administer or provide advice relating to debt management products, such as Debt Management Plans. Advice and information on alternative options will be provided following an initial fact find where the individual(s) concerned meets the criteria for an IVA and wishes to pursue it further, as governed by our Insolvency Practitioners' regulators, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. All advice given on any alternative options is therefore provided in reasonable contemplation of an insolvency appointment.
