Hi folks, I am currently in an IVA and have been lucky to be given a paid for holiday by my parents. I was wondering if i can use a pre paid currency card form a major travel agency to safely carry money? There is no credit being asked for but they may share my info with credit agencies!! Hopefully someone can help.

There is absolutely no problem and lovely gift from your parents. Confirm with your own IP if you like and enjoy the holiday.

IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I'm going on holiday soon and found that it is worth shopping around, as exchange rates and charges vary.

BTW I think the only thing they use the credit reference agencies for is to verify your ID

I have used these cards and as martinw says it's worth shopping around.
Life after IVA is wonderful.

Go for it and enjoy the sunshine .... prepaid cards are great when abroad you can't overspend!
