Yes, I'd agree with that. Equifax are slow to react, even to remove my own dispute notice took them 28 days, and this was only after they took just over 6 weeks to resolve the issue I had with the data.
Also just re-reading my post and should add as well as the IVA being marked as cleared it also has to be on your file for a minimum of 6 years from the date of arrangement. Not that this applies to you Vince but to make it clear for anyone else reading it.
We're willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start. All that we're asking in return is your cooperation.
hi, we did a F&F IVA,accepted in Feb last yr,the IVA wasn't "closed" until Aug last yr. we had a note at the bottom about the 3mths.
i might be wrong but you won't come off until your IP closes the IVA & sends paperwork to them. we were told we'd stay on for 3mths because ours was a F&F IVA.
we rang the insolvency register people, didn't find them helpful,the guy said he'd not heard of a F&F IVA!
in the end Liz @Mel Giles helped us by faxing the paperwork across again to them as they kept saying they'd not had necessary papers from our IP (but they knew we'd finished - go figure!-frustrating).
thanks to Liz we were off the next day after the 3 mth date. bliss! we were so,so happy to get off there![:D]
Nothing stays the same...everything changes..hang on in there!
all the credit agencies are rubbish they only want your money! The iva register is a downside to the iva and think is ,more of a stigma than a the iva.the fact that you can see all the people in black and white doesnt seam right to me .It like been treated a criminal!because you got in to debt and then decided to do something about it
I agree that it shouldn't be in the public eye but good luck to anyone who tries to get credit in my name!!!!
Once I have finished then I will register again with CIFAS so anyone asking for credit will have to jump through a lot more hoops before they can get it.
