Personal Insolvency
Arrangement

A personal Insolvency Arrangement is a formal debt solution that deals with your unaffordable mortgage and other debt repayments.

A PIA can include both secured debts (such as mortgages) and unsecured debts (such as credit cards and personal loans).

A PIA can last up to 6 years (but can be 7 years in some cases) and during this time the creditors named in your PIA cannot take any legal or debt collection action against you.

A PIA allows you to settle and or restructure your debts over a period of 6 years (7 years in some cases)to make it more affordable and your debts are reduced to allow you to repay what you can afford , while offering legal protection form your creditors.

You must apply for a PIA through a Personal Insolvency practitioner (PIP).

A PIA is only suitable for people with certain circumstances:

  • You are struggling with your mortgage payments
  • You cannot afford to pay your debts as they fall due
  • You have debt owning to at least 1 secured creditor

“On completion of your PIA any
remaining unsecured debt is written off.”

Here’s how a Personal Insolvency Arrangement works/ what you need to know

You apply for a PIA through a Personal Insolvency Practitioner (PIP). A PIP is a professional who is licensed by the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) and is qualified to put forward your PIA application.

You must swear a Prescribed financial Statement (PFS) during this process of application which is drafted by the PIP. All information in the PFS must be true and accurate.

In a PIA you negotiate affordable lower monthly repayments towards your unsecured debts (credit cards, loans etc..) which last the term of your PIA or shorter depending on your circumstances. Interest and charges are frozen. On completion of your PIA any remaining unsecured debt is written off.

If the ISI and the court are happy with your application, your PIP gets 70 days to develop a proposal, to be put to your creditors which outlines the monthly PIA payments which will be paid to your mortgage and debts.
