Hi Raj,
Welcome!
Yes you can get help. And no you dont have to lose your home as long as you can afford an IVA and are not rejected one.
Keep reading on here and maybe in a couple of days have a think about contacting an IP (you need an IP to set up an IVA). You can review them here

Good luck.

Hi raj and welcome to the forum
You would need to discuss this more fully with an insolvency practitioner to see what options there are available to you. Is your property solely or jointly owned? And how much do you think that you could afford to pay to creditors each month?

Welcome.
In an IVA, your home will be safe as long as you continue to pay your mortgage and secured debts.
However, you will be required to remortgage at some point during the term and raise some of the equity for the benefit of your creditors.
Could you please post some more details?
Are all debts unsecured?
After household bills and general expenses, how much disposable income would you have per month if you were not to pay your creditors?
Who are your creditors?
How much do you owe, roughly, to each?
Sorry to be a pain but this information would help the forum to assist you further.
