Will My IVA Bind The Spanish Bank Or Other Foreign Banks I Owe Money To?

Last updated: January 12, 2024

The quick answer

Yes it will. You should make sure the foreign bank are on your creditors list and that they are notified of the proposed IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement). If the bank debt relates to property loan abroad is is also worth notifying any management company as well as the local authority for council tax arrears.

In more detail

If the bank has repossessed a property from you, a typical example in this case being a Spanish holiday home, then you need to estimate the shortfall on sale as an unsecured amount. That amount is how much the bank will lose and let them be able to claim in your IVA for that amount. They can also vote on the IVA based on that amount.

If the bank have not yet repossessed the foreign property then you should still include them for this estimated shortfall and notify them. It is best the are notified by email and post.
