Hello everyone
First of all a big thank you for the response I have received so far, I now have several cases to begin working on, and one individual that will actually be filmed.
In all the cases each one has had their IVA rejected by Northern Rock (being the principle creditor).
I still need more cases, both before and after the date of nationalisation, 22nd February 2008. Both periods demonstrate the woeful conduct of the past board of Northern Rock as well as the present policy which comes under the Government. So the more cases I can get, either side of the date of nationalisation will only help to add to movement for a change.
Following the reply I received from the Prime Minister on the 3rd April 2008, I have since re written asking the PM's office to review their letter as a matter of urgency and respond to the issue raised rather than just explain why the Government felt it was necessary to Nationalise Northern Rock. I have also had to write chase up letters to both Alistair Darling the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Ron Sandler, newly appointed CEO of Northern Rock, as neither has replied let alone acknowledged the letters of the 21st February 2008.
If you are interested then you can see the letters at
www.debtwizard.com bottom of home page, if you wish to let me know about your rejected IVA, whether you wish to be filmed or not, then click on the link at the pink Northern Rock logo on home page.
Unfortunately some debt forums will not allow the posting about Northern Rock. I understand this to a degree but still found it disappointing. However, your forum has stood out as the one that really wishes to help those in debt through your support of this issue.If you are able to spread the word then please do so. I need many more cases.
Finally, research at the IVA forum on the 29th January 2008, which was held to launch the new ‘protocol IVA’ and attended by all the major banks, credit card providers and debt management companies in the UK, suggests that as many as 20,000 individuals may have had their IVAs rejected during 2007, mainly by Northern Rock.
Many thanks for your continued support and congratulations on having the forum nominated in the category of "Contribution to the Credit Industry", a worthy contender if not favourite.
