Hi and welcome.

You are correct - it stays on for six years from the approval date.

heres the question, does it actually state an IVA on your credit file, or just shows defaults, after all it takes 6 years for a default to come of

I'm pretty sure it refers to an IVA - but Storm is bound to be able to confirm this properly.

I think you are right Melanie. Your record can show defaults as well as the IVA.

My credit report refers to my IVA and BR and the defaults show in each individual entry.

Yes your defaults show separately in each case with your bank/credit card/loan etc.
Then another part will have your IVA details.

In my case I entered a DMP first for a bit and my defaults on some of my cards show starting a year before I started my IVA. So they will fall off my credit report this year and my IVA and other credit card will fall off next year.
Not sure what happened but I am all paid up and finished...they even owe me money now :)))

The credit report will show defaults togther with any Insolvency information.

There is still a major issue with post IVA credit report information.

Typically it takes longer than the 6 years to clear all entries. For example defaults show for 6 years from the default date not the date an IVA was agreed.

If the defaults have been put on there after the IVA has been approved, aren't the creditors supposed to remove them if you request it?

That's what happens after BR (unless Tesco are one of your creditors!) but I don't know about an IVA. I would have thought it should be the same...
