Pros and Cons of a DSA and PIA

Looking at a DSA or a PIA through the eyes of the insolvent debtor reveals the pros and cons of the process.

First Debt Settlement accepted by Creditors

Monday November 25th 2013 will be long remembered in Ireland as the date when the first Debt Settlement Arrangement or DSA to be proposed by a debtor was accepted by creditors. The debtor can now begin to move on with his life after at least 65% of his creditors agreed to write off a substantial percentage of his debts in return for the debtor agreeing to contribute his surplus income to a fund for the benefit of creditors for a period of five years under the supervision of a Personal Insolvency Practitioner or PIP.
