In June this year I finally completed my IVA after starting in 2008. I had accrued debts to the tune of £90k and whilst the IVA route was a bit up and down DFD kepted me on track until the end. They were fantastic and sites such as this also helped me to keep focused. Yes I have learnt from my mistakes and this has made me much more frugal. The really good news is that I was acepted for a Capital One card and have a DD to clear the full amount each month and now have been acepted for the better credit card with Lloyds Classic card. I have a Halifax Rewards account too who were one of my IVA creditors. I have gleaned up my CRA files and all Barr one are offf. I will never get in to debt again but need to improve my score from very poor to higher. The best current accounts I found who were helpful and did not charge were the Coop and Nationwide. Thank you to this site and the IP who give their time to advising people like me.

Well done on completing your journey. As you collect those green ticks your credit file will get healthier and healthier :-)
