Baines and Ernst (the owner of Blair Endersby) have sold their IVA clients to Grant Thornton. This was confirmed to Blair Endersby staff last week. Anyone who has an IVA with Blair Endersby really should not worry as GT are a very reputable company. I seem to remember that Mark Allen from GT had a lot of input to the iva.co.uk debt evenings which ran a few years ago.
I am due to send wage slips in to BE at the end of this month, do I still do that or wait and send them to GT? also I am in the middle of my review, BE have all the stuff just waiting for the review to take place what will happen with that, my anniversary date is April 21st.
Don't like the idea of moving I have just got settled and used to BE I am sure GT are fine but I didn't choose them, and have no input into them taking over my account, how come we can be changed so easily but if we want to change our company it's not allowed?
If life is what you make it, I must have been in a strange mood when I made mine
You can change your company - it just costs a lot of money to do it! It may be that BE will be going into administration. Not 100% about that but there have been one or two companies who have gone under in the past year or so, at least someone else is able to take over.

seems a little ironic that a debt relief agency could go into administration, did make me smile and giggle a bit when I read that on your post.[:D][:D]
I just don't like change once everything is sorted in my mind I like it to stay like that, it worry's me when things change as I have often found change is not always good.

GT do have a good reputation so hopefully the transition will be smooth.

You can always change kyla - I know you have made a payment but you can choose another company who doesn't charge.

Grant Thornton wrote several letters to me to advise that they had taken over my Iva and also sent a FAQs about what it meant for me. I couldn't fault them at all. Wilson Phillips who I was originally with made no contact with me whatsoever to advise that GT were taking over. Do not worry at all about GT. As mentioned before they have been very professional with me.
People who are already in IVAs have nothing to be worried about because GT are an excellent firm. However those waiting for proposals like Kyla are effectively in 'Limbo' because they do not know who will be taking any new appointments. Are BE going to restart with the same or fewer IPs or are they going to sell the work in progress to another firm too?
It may be worth asking these questions and possibly even going to another firm.
how does it work that when a firm decides for whatever reason to pack up that they can be sold to another company without consulting the clients first and giving them a choice.
as we all know its nigh on impossible to change firms if we wanted to so why dont the existing clients of the defunct firm get a choice of where they can move there iva to if they can find a company to take on the case.
just wondering

It should make no difference who the supervisor is because the job has to be done the same. However, I accept there is definitely a problem in some firms with customer service especially after the IVA has been approved but there will be no problem with GT on that front.
To transfer IP needs court permission but an IP can apply for a block transfer which is relatively easy. If the clients wanted to change IPs it would require thousands of individual hearings at huge expense so really would not be a viable option.
thanks for explanation michael.
its a logical step but i would still have thought it would be better to let a customer make his own decision as too where his iva supervisor was based.
we are all told to shop around if you like and pick someone you feel comfortable with at the outset and doing things this way just takes all that away.
but your prob right of course[:D]

It did worry be slightly as my review information was asked for back in February & Ive only just had the wage slips back, So I feel abit in limbo as to when my review will be carried out.
Im assuming our IVAs proposals conditions will remain the same & its just a different IP/Firm running them?
Anyway over all as Ive said before Im sure it will be fine.
Dont worry Pandy Im going through a review too, so I will let you know how mine goes x
Kyla its not to late to change - you could contact some listed on www.iva.com
Final IVA payment made in April 2013, never ever thought we could do it or get through it but we did! X
