I suppose to me/us, it's an achievement, we did what it said on the can, right through to the long gritty end, those last six months are well.. bad words! So I opened the envelope, whhhhhattttt is that it! I want it in parchment (edges burnt) and a thumping red wax seal on it!
I am not sure where this idea of a "vanity certificate" derives from - the completion of an IVA is a milestone in anyone's finanial lifecycle, and if I can make my clients feel a little better about that by the production of a different styled certificate then I am happy to do so.
If my clients provide feedback that they would like a more jazzy or official certificate, then this will be listened to, considered and easily fixed on a general rather than case specific basis. Why this would involve the charging of more fees, when IPs are largely remunerated on a percentage basis is beyond me.
I have no idea what your particular certificates look like, Mel, but I gather that many people do not realise that the photocopied paragraph they receive IS the certificate.
All it really needs is an unmistakable heading along with a few instances of "I hereby confirm".
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
