What is the role of the PIP?

The role of the Personal Insolvency Practitioner (PIP) is central to the Personal Insolvency Act 2012-2021. In this, it states that a debtor who wishes to enter into either of the three arrangements:

    • Debt Settlement Arrangement (DSA)
    • Personal Insolvency Arrangement (PIA)
    • Bankruptcy

must engage with a registered PIP.

The debtor must submit to a PIP a written statement disclosing all of his/her financial affairs including debts and other liabilities, assets and guarantees given by the debtor in relation to the debt of any other person and such other relevant financial information.

 

When does a client officially appoint a PIP?

Following a review of the financial information and any other supporting documentation, the PIP will hold a meeting with the debtor and advise him/her of the options for addressing his/her financial difficulties. The PIP will also provide information relating to the procedure and likely costs associated with any arrangement under the legislation.

It is only after this meeting that a debtor who wishes to become party to an arrangement shall appoint a PIP. It is on this appointment that the PIP shall notify the Insolvency Service of Ireland (ISI) of his or her appointment.

On receipt of the financial information, the PIP will assist the debtor in completing a prescribed financial statement (PFS).

On the completion of the PFS, the PIP shall advise the debtor of his/her options for addressing the financial difficulties and his/her eligibility to make a proposal for a Debt Settlement Arrangement, Personal Insolvency Arrangement or a Bankruptcy.

In advising the debtor, the PIP must consider the value of the debtor’s unsecured debts as compared to the value of the debtor’s secured debts and whether the debtor has communicated with his secured creditors to renegotiate or restructure the secured debts.

On receipt of an instruction, the PIP shall complete a statement confirming that he/she is of the opinion that the information contained in the debtor’s prescribed financial statement is complete and accurate and that the debtor is eligible either to make a proposal for a Debt Settlement Arrangement or a Personal Insolvency Arrangement. The PIP will also state that having considered the personal financial statement completed by the debtor that there is no prospect that the debtor will become solvent within a period of 5 years commencing on the date on which the statement is made.
