					Finally our IVA is finished and closed and we're debt free.  My message to others is hang in there it's tough but the reward of being debt free makes it all worthwhile. It's amazing how quickly the time passed.  Be patient and your smile will be as big as ours when our completion certificate arrived.

					Hi 12 months to go
We did f&f and it took 12 months for certificate. It was down to new laws about vat and ppi so things may have speeded up by the time you make your final payment.  We were with GT and although 12 months was a long time in the grand scheme of things it wasn't too bad. Hang in there and be patient and all good things will come (especially your CC!).

					Thanks so much for all your best wishes.  
This IVA forum is a godsend to be able to get advice and share good (and bad) experiences. Thanks to all the people who monitor this site and provide such invaluable advice.
