hi there,would just like some advice have today wrote a letter to my ip synergi to ask for a settlement figure for a full and final payment my husbands employer said they would do this loan us a lump sum.The iva as been up and running since oct 06 we pay 259 per month and are expected to release in the 5th year equity in our home of 22,464,total creditors claims are 51,445 and estimated dividend is 52p in the £.Have just recieved my annual report wich says the debtors have paid 4,174 into the arrangement and also the sum of 38.35 overtime there will be no increase in monthly contributions.,the debtors have agreed to make available 100% of the equitable interest in our property to be paid in the fifth year,the amount estimated to be raised is expected to be in the region of 22,464,estimated per orignal iva.It then says total 51,444.79,claims recieved 53,028.96.The nominees fees are 4,250 plus vat,supervisors renumeration was estimated to be in region of 5,000 plus vat,it was also agreed sufficent funds would be retained to issue bankruptcy petitions should debtors default,,a summary of time and costs which synergi have incurred since there appointment 21850.50 excluding vat as at 29th november 07 other expenses 148.00.Have read such bad press about synergi would really love to get them paid off,my question is i thought they may accept a lower payment say 20,000 would this be reasonable have not said how much we can pay but have asked simply for a figure off them what if they say 30,000 could we offer lower.We have little income and cannot afford to go much beyond 20,000 obviously we have to repay this and it would be stopped out of my husbands wages so it's got to be realistic.sorry it's such a long post and for the bad spelling mistakes,would also like to point out we had our first dealings with synergi in june 06 and finally got the iva october 06
kindest regards

Hi Frances and welcome to the forum

The problem you are going to have with this is that creditors will likely not accept an offer for early settlement unless there are good reasons for you making it - ie not affording the repayments. They would probably rather you carry on making the payments and then get the equity release at the end.

By all means put this to the IP to see what they say. Can I just get you to clarify the amount of charges they have incurred to date - surely they cannot have incurred costs in excess of £21,000 - and those nominee's fees look very high!

hi melanie,sorry about that told you my spelling was terrible it is actually 2,180.The nominees fees it says under the terms of proposal at 4,250 plus vat and will be drawn from balance at hand as and when funds are available.It also states on another page asset realisations 4,732.66,cost of realisations 4,727.65,unsecured creditors nil and current account 5.01.I am gutted that there may not be a chance for me to finish early,would have thought the creditors would have liked to see something now rather than wait to my calculations they have not recieved a penny yet,would the higher the settlement increase the chance, from what i have read they seem to prefer to get it sooner rather than later i think i have read of about 40%
kindest regards

Frances

You now need to speak to your own IP about this for advice as he/she has detailed knowledge about your case. This forum is for sharing ideas and experiences, but it cannot replace the advice you receive from your own firm.

hi
have had no reply to my letters and everytime i ring it's a different person who i speak to with the same answers will get out your file and call you back,they never do.Today have wrote them another letter stating this is a time limited offer and that my mortgage would be increasing in march.Have also included that over the last few months that our income is supposed to be £1175 and in december alone it was £1099.99.Are there any other ways to contact them,i just seem to be banging my head against a brick wall.It's over three weeks since i contacted them,i know we have had christmas and new year inbetween but what is a reasonable time to wait for a reply.
kindest regards
frances

Which firm are you dealing with and who is the IP. You may wish to e-mail the IP directly to tell them you are unhappy about the lack of their response. IP's e-mail addressed can be found from the Insolvency Service's website under "Find an IP".

The regulatory bodies state that they believe that 7 days is a reasonable timescale to expect a reply from an IP.

Hi
Synergi have had terrible press on this forum
I suggest a recorded delivery letter to your IP with a time limit for a reply,otherwise you will write to their regulatory body.
Terrible service

This is her direct e-mail address, so I suggest a stiff e-mail with a read and delivery receipt is the next appropriate step.
