I have been given approval by my IP to seek a loan for a car. Moneybarn have given me the all clear despite bad credit history, but I was wondering if there are any car lease company's out there whom I could approach as I would like to do a comparison

Thanks Lesley it looks as if it is likely it will work with sim only as this is still a contract. Appreciate you taking the time to look on Noodle

Thanks lesley do you know if they record your payments on credit file as I am keen to have it help improve credit rating

I am looking to get a cheap sim only phone contract and need some advice as to which company is the most likely to accept me and I also need one that will help improve me credit rating.

Thankyou both for your response's. I have been in touch with my IP and they fully support me obtaining finance and are even prepared to write me a letter to this effect. Fills me with some confidence. All I need to do now is contact moneybarn and fingers crossed I'll get the go ahead.

I am about to undertake a new job position which requires me to purchase a car whereas currently I have a company car. My IVA is currently with the closures team pending PPI's putting me in a difficult position. Ideally I would like to lease or finance a car. Is this possible before the IVA completi...

Thanks Andy, I just hope Grant Thornton decide to follow suit pretty soon. I've already been waiting 12 months following my last IVA payment and the end doesn't seem to be getting any nearer.

Thanks everyone for your comments, looks as if the end of this unnecessary tunnel is getting nearer and hopefully this will resolve all the unnecessary back logs that PPI claims are causing.

Has agreed been made yet from the Insolvency Board as to whether an IVA can be closed pending PPI claims still being investigated. I was led to believe this was going to be discussed in Dec 12 and I am curious if a decision has been made

I already posed this question to GT stating that I Could do it quicker myself, but there answer was not to provide me with details of the claims but instead they just made Claims Broker give me an update. That was back in Sept and today they are still saying its another 3 months. What I can't unders...

Well I made my last payment of my Iva exactly 12 months ago and since then have had a year of hell. Grant Thornton won't issue closure until PPI claims have been investigated by Claims Brokers. Yet claims brokers told me today they have such a backlog in claims and that I am to expect it to take at ...

I sent an email today, received acknowledgement and await your reply.

I made my last payment in Dec 2011, expected to receive completion certificate within 6 months. It is now 10 months later and I am totally fed up. Grant Thornton blame claims broker and they blame grant Thornton yet nobody seems to realise this is my life they are messing with. Can't get any respons...

I have completed my last payment and am now waiting for the completion certificate which I believe can take up to 6 months. Is there any benefit to me applying for a pre payment card now to start rebuilding my credit rating and if so which ones do you recommend.

Received confirmation today from GT that yes I am due to move to final completion once I complete the next 2 payments. They have also confirmed that there is no reason why I cannot sell my house. If the sale completes before I get the final completion letter and I make a profit, then this would have...
