I would ask to speak to the closures team rather than the first line customer service, if you go back on this thread they have said its an extra year to other ex PJG clients

That's a good point. Thanks. I'm currently trying to talk to the Halifax - and get a failed credit application :)

You can refuse their valuation as they usually use Zoopla who over value normally. Halifax will refuse.

Yep, Halifax have said they will probably refuse but have to go through it on Monday - luckily the advisor knows about the IVA clause - he did say I needed a closure figure though so I'm calling CF again.

yea, I saw that - but they din't tell me that... I may just tell them I have spoken to Halifax. Customer services used to be in Glasgow, I suspect it's overseas now.

I have had issues with their first line customer service people before, they are polite but have no real knowledge of your IVA. I would defo ask to speak to your case worker or closures, they told me i couldnt have a savings account... wrong... and that I had to hand over my tax rebate .. again wrong
Before you run around try and speak to someone senior

Ok, I got through to Glasgow and they were great. They are going to get Closures to call me. Basically they know I'm not going to be able to release equity...in fact stated I wouldn't be able to.But they need to rejection letters for files/proof. They also said they can extend by up to 3 years but that only be if I had a massive amount of equity and it would probably be 12 months.

I don't see how they can do three years. I had a massive amount of equity (ok not with CF myself) but it was just extended for the extra year.

I rather think the staff you have been speaking to have no idea what they are talking about.

If it doesn't say that then I don't think they can do it and you should fight it all the way.

No,they only said extensions can be 12, 24 or 36 months - but even 24 months would need huge equity. She did say the closure team were the best to advise so she didn't want to mislead me. My agreement says 12 months too, so I'm not worried about that.
