IVA Mail

[chardonnay]

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone else had mail from companies saying "We're concerned that you may not have been told all the facts about your options". It basically invites you to take up a free consultation to either renegotiate or withdraw from your agreement and says about the fees charged.It also goes on aboutthe four year clause.
I had a call from one company, then a letter from Blair Endesby (my company) warning me about this and asking me to send them any letters I recieve. On Tuesday I recieved one of these letters from a company called Integrity Financial Services. What frightens me most is that the register is open to the general public and they state in this letter the date of my IVA, the company I went hrough and the court where it was passed. The whole world now has access to my details which is uncomfortable - mind you identity fraud shouldn't be an issue - anyone who would like my identity is welcome to swap I don't have anything left worth taking!!!
Should I send the letter to Blair Endeby?

Yes Chardonnay, send it to your IP. Ignore it. Viki X

Yes, send it to your IP. We are all concerned on here about the register and the fact that everyone can see it.

Andy has a petition going on the No.10 website if you fancied signing it Chardonnay.

If it will do any good here is the link to the petition:

But bin it, it's not worth the paper it is written on, or forward it onto your IP

Hi All,
Just signed the petition. I realise companies need to know and that's not a problem - it's the world and his wife seeing all my details - address, etc, etc - that bothers me. My sister was horrified when I told her. She's financially OK, but felt for me and all of you it should be changed.
Hope everys a great 7 cheap weekend!!

Yes, it is horrifying the amount of data on the register, and we wont all have bad credit ratings in the future, but it is personal data which could be used later on to commit identify fraud.

I was thinking about registering a CIFAS marker just to protect myself as all my details are there which could be used.

Sadly just another example of cold calling Caerrie. IVAs etc. are booming business for some, just like selling double glazing really! Such correspondences really just reflect the overall situation of how our personal information is just so easy to come by. I suppose we can't really blame businesses for jumping on the bandwagon, where there may be a quick buck to be made.
