If you are struggling with a high level of unsecured debt that you can’t afford to repay within a reasonable amount of time, but that you can commit to making regular reduced repayments towards, an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement) may be the right debt solution for you.

What is an IVA, and how does one work?
An IVA is a formal, legally binding agreement between you and your unsecured creditors, which will - in most cases - last for a total of 5 years.

To be eligible for an IVA, you must be able to commit to making regular reduced payments for the duration of the agreement. If you can commit to this - and your IVA is approved by enough of your lenders - they will agree to write off the portion of your debt that you can’t afford to repay once the IVA has come to a successful conclusion.

Before an IVA begins, you and your Insolvency Practitioner (IP) would draw up an IVA Proposal, which would show your creditors what you could realistically afford to pay in an IVA.

For the agreement to go ahead, the IVA Proposal would have to be accepted by voting creditors accounting for 75% or more of your debt. If it is, the IVA will become legally binding on all your unsecured creditors, including any who didn’t vote or who voted against it.

As with any debt solution, an IVA has its advantages and disadvantages. Here’s a look at some of these, to help you decide whether an IVA might be a suitable debt solution for you.

Advantages

• When your IVA starts, all interest on your debts will be frozen.

• When it concludes (assuming you’ve made all the payments you were required to) any outstanding unsecured debt will be written off, leaving you debt free. Note that this applies to unsecured debt - there are some debts, such as mortgage debt, which IVAs cannot write off.

• An IVA is very unlikely to force the sale of your home. In fact, whether you’re a homeowner or a tenant, it should make it easier to pay your mortgage/rent, as your IVA payments would be calculated to leave you with enough money every month for all your essential expenses.

Disadvantages

• If you are a homeowner, you may be required to release some of the equity in your home half way through the final year of the agreement.

• Entering an IVA will affect your credit rating for six years (in most cases, this means the five years that the IVA is in progress, and one year afterwards).

• If you choose to enter an IVA, you will end up repaying more of your debt than you would have done if you had chosen to declare yourself bankrupt.

When should I seek debt advice?

Being in debt can be a stressful experience for anyone - particularly if it becomes difficult to manage.

However, not all debt has to be ‘bad’. Some forms of debt are an essential part of living our lives the way we want to. Mortgages and student loans are two clear examples of debt that allow us to do things we otherwise could not afford to do. As long as you can afford to clear them, you may feel debts like these were well worth taking on.

If you feel like your debts are spiralling out of control, though, it is important that you take action to sort them out.

Are my debts getting out of control?
It can be difficult keeping track of your debts, so how can you tell when they are becoming too much/getting out of control?

If you can answer ‘yes’ to any of the following questions, it may be time to seek professional debt advice:

1. Do you spend more than you earn each month?
2. Are you forced to use your credit card to purchase ‘essentials’, such as food?
3. Have your creditors contacted you about outstanding/missed repayments?

You may find that all you need to get you back on track is a simple re-arrangement of the way you handle your finances (you could fine-tune your budgeting skills, for example). However, this may not be enough - and if you don’t think it will be enough for you, you may want to consider seeking professional debt advice.

Which of my debts are ‘more important’?
If you are struggling with your finances and would like to sort them out, you should start by ordering your debts according to their priority. This will show you which of your debts you should focus on when creating a budget.

Secured debts, such as mortgages, should be seen as your first priority. If you fail to keep up with repayments to these, you could risk particularly severe consequences, such as losing your home.

Your non-priority debts, such as your credit/store card debts, are a lower priority than your secured debts. This doesn’t mean that you aren’t obliged to repay them, but the consequences of not doing so aren’t as serious.

If your finances are getting hard to manage, and you would like help prioritising your debts, you should speak to a professional debt adviser. If you need further help with your debts, visit debtadvicenow.co.uk

The smartest-looking lady made the smartest bid to snare Kieron Pollard, the most sought-after cricketer in the Indian Premier League’s (IPL) third player auction held in Mumbai on Tuesday afternoon.

Nita Ambani, Mumbai Indians’ owner, walked into the bidding room at a five-star hotel here wearing a newly-designed team T-shirt. She later said she was sure of what to purchase. It is a different matter that three other teams - Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders - had walked in with similar plans. However, it was Nita Ambani’s superior, secret, bid that prevailed.

The bidding for Pollard began at a base price of $200,000 and soon turned into a hot battle between Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore and Kolkata. Every passing bid of $10,000 saw all the four teams locked in a tie when the entire purse of $750,000 was emptied. Lalit Modi, the IPL chief, then called for the tie-breaker rule where all three franchisees concerned had to quote an amount - a silent bid which wouldn’t be revealed - and the team quoting the highest amount could buy Pollard.

The Knight Riders were the first to back off at this stage, leaving the other three to slug it out. Nita Ambani wrote an amount slightly higher than Rs 6.5 crore (approximately $1.75m) which saw her pip rivals N Srinivasan (Chennai Super Kings) and Vijay Mallya (Royal Challengers). The idea, it seemed, was to keep in mind that the Kings and the Challengers would be missing out on the services of their costliest players this season - Andrew Flintoff and Kevin Pietersen - and so they would utilize that money to buy another player.

Mumbai Indians quoted a figure slightly higher than $1.5m and Pollard was theirs.

“The team strategy, discussed between Sachin Tendulkar, TA Sekar and Robin Singh was that we wanted a batting allrounder and we are happy to have him,” Nita Ambani, wife of CMD, Reliance Industries said after the successful bid.

Pollard technically emerged the costliest player of the IPL, as the money spent on him totals up to a mindboggling $1.75m. Ironically, according to the auction rules, the Trinindadian will only get $750,000. The rest of the amount ($1.55m) will go into the IPL kitty.

Mukesh Ambani’s Mumbai Indians have now exhausted their purse and will play no more part in the auctions.

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) Chairman & Managing Director Mukesh Ambani was awarded the inaugural Dean’s Medal from the University of Pennsyvania’s Eduardo Glandt, Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science today.

The medal was awarded to Mr Ambani at a function here in recognition of his “visionary leadership” in the application of engineering and technology for the betterment of mankind. .

“The medal is an acknowledgement for Ambani’s ingenuity and initiative to usher in Reliance’s vertical integration journey from textiles into fibers, petrochemicals, petroleum refining and eventually oil and gas exploration and production. Today, Reliance is a global leader in polyester, petrochemicals and refining, including the world’s largest petroleum refinery complex at Jamnagar. His vision of energy security for India was realized through an aggressive exploration program which resulted in the world’s largest gas discovery in the year 2002. The field eventually doubled gas production in India,” a press release from the School said.

“Mukesh Ambani embodies what the engineering profession can contribute to a country, as someone who seeks to apply technology for the betterment of society,” Mr Glandt said.

Mr Ambani said in his acceptance speech that he would treasure this medal. “It is much more than the recognition of the modest contribution as a chemical engineer from India. It recognizes the collective achievement of the Reliance family and the creativity of over 25,000 engineers in Reliance. I dedicate this Medal to the indomitable spirit of our founder chairman, Dhirubhai Ambani and each and every member of the Reliance family,” he said.

Mr Ambani joined RIL, founded by his father Dhirubhai Ambani, in 1981 after receiving a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Mumbai and pursuing a master’s degree at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business.

Among Mr Ambani’s numerous honors are the 2007 US-India Business Council “Global Vision” Award for Leadership; the 2006 “ET Business Leader of the Year” Award by the Economic Times and the first NDTV-Profit “Global Indian Leader Award” in 2006.

In 2008, Mr. Ambani was elected Vice Chairman of the Executive Committee of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. He is a member of the Prime Minister’s Council on Trade and Industry and of the Board of Governors of the National Council of Applied Economic Research. He is also Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, and a member of the Indo-US CEOs Forum, the International Advisory Board of Citigroup, the International Advisory Board of the National Board of Kuwait, and the Advisory Council for Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, among other appointments.

The University of Pennsylvania is a world leader in higher education, drawing 10,000 undergraduates from around the world and more than 11,000 additional students enrolled in Penn’s 12 graduate and professional schools.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science at Penn is one of the oldest in the United States, established in 1852 as a School of Mines, Arts and Manufactures. It has since grown into a centre of excellence in the creation of technology, leading to the first general-purpose digital computer, ENIAC, making Penn the birthplace of the digital revolution.

Mukesh Ambani controlled Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) today rejected as “false” and “malicious” a news report on some Telugu TV channels alleging it may have had a hand in the helicopter crash that killed former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy.

“We are shocked and outraged at the false, malicious, motivated and libellous news on TV-5 channel concerning the fatal mishap of Reddy’s helicopter. We condemn, rebut and reject the allegation with the contempt it deserves,” an RIL statement said.

Alleging that it was the “dirty handiwork of our business rivals in cohoots with TV-5,” it said, “This is also evident from the well coordinated attacks on RIL’s personnel and establishments in Andhra Pradesh within minutes of the telecast by TV-5.

Common Stock is a term that you will hear quite often. Anyone can purchase common stock, regardless of age, income, age, or financial standing. Common stock is essentially part ownership in the business you are investing in. As the company grows and earns money, the value of your stock rises. On the other hand, if the company does poorly or goes bankrupt, the value of your stock falls. Common stock holders do not participate in the day to day operations of a business, but they do have the power to elect the board of directors.

Along with common stock, there are also different classes of stock. The different classes of stock in one company are often called Class A and Class B. The first class, class A, essentially gives the stock owner more votes per share of stock than the owners of class B stock.
