Hi Guys

Ive been in talks with central capital and they have now agreed with my creditors i will need to pay 429.51 per month back on my IVA- I feel this is to much?

I have a debt of 23,000 but cant afford no where near this- my original proposal was I pay 229 per month

however my creditors have modified it and wont accept anything less than 429
I dont know if i'm been ripped off or not? Ive had my 3rd meeting and simply cant afford it

If im not happy with this IVA- am i able to pursuit one with another company? I really dont know what central capital are like I didnt really research and took the first service which was offered to me

Please help

Hi,

If you have not signed with these people then yes you can try other IVA providers. I would recommend you go on to www.iva.com to check the various reviews but Melanie Giles who posts on here is highly recommended.

An IVA should be affordable to yourself and not unaffordable - and therefore likely to fail. Is Bankruptcy an option for you - do you have assets??

I have never heard of this company at all so have no idea what they are like.

As Ray says, you can try another company, and I agree that you should visit the site he recommends.

I have never heard of this firm - are they insolvency practitioners? This seems an awfully large increase, which suggests that there are irregularities with the proposal in the first place.

Do not accept the modifications if you cannot afford the payments - and at this stage it might be worth getting a second opinion.

What is the name of the insolvency practitioner who is currently acting as your nominee?

As far as I am aware, Central Capital are a loan brokerage, mainly secured I believe.

Is it possible that you approached them for a consolidation loan, either directly or indirectly, and have been passed to a 3rd party?

They are a secured loan brokerage but they do IVAs as well. Debtbuster IVA is one brand Central IVA Processing ltd is another.

OK - so who is the insolvency practitioner, as I cannot find any reference to either firm on the ID website?

I found a reference from 2009 to a Karen Tracey Potts under IVA Processing Ltd who is also listed on iva.com as working for Synergi in 2008.

Melanie, Debtbuster was one the "no chance" ones - when I asked to speak to an IP to ask him/her they told me they have a panel of IPs and could not tell me which one I would be referred to if I had a case - which I did not!

They are clearly a packaging firm and not an IP practice themselves.

Hi!
Thank you all for your reply

Yes that is the name if the IP who was dealing with my case-- I'm not happy with the terms or the modifications at all

should I go with another firm

This morning because I didnt accept the IVA they have advised me to go for a debt management plan but with the same company

I greatly need help with this

Hi,

Yes go with another firm - please check www.iva.com and check the reviews and take advice from at least 3 IVA providers.

I would highly recommend Melanie Giles as I think I posted before and she will look after you [:D]
