InsolvencyAccording to Government figures, individual bankruptcies rose by 27% to a total of 45,000 in 2004. The reasons given for the increase are the ease with which credit is available, together with an increase in the amount of debt not secured on property.
Despite changes in the rules governing personal insolvency, Individual Voluntary Arrangements may still be available, and the period of a bankruptcy has been reduced in most cases. Rules governing setting aside payments made before a bankruptcy remain, as do those relating to asset recovery and disposal.
