A resident of Scotland who realizes that he is insolvent is simply announcing that he is unable to pay his debts as they come due. An insolvent person may declare personal bankruptcy or he may research the various insolvency plans available to Scottish residents. These include payment structures such as a Debt Arrangement Scheme (DAS), a trust deed or an Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA).
Because options are available to help an insolvent person create a repayment plan that is manageable based on his income, declaring bankruptcy should generally be the last resort, especially since once a person declares bankruptcy, his assets are now available to be seized by his creditors to pay his debts. Researching and applying for a repayment plan such as mentioned above give a debtor an opportunity to regain a strong financial foothold and dig himself out of the financial crisis in which he may find himself.
