Hi Guys, having had our IVA approved on 25th July, up to today we hadn't appeared on the register. I have just checked, and there we are in full view for all the leaches to come crawling out of the woodwork to start preying on us. The post had quietened down nicely, in fact if we get 3 letters in total per week we have done well, even if it is only a bank statement, nice letter from Mr Npower or something similar.
I was beginning and hoping that we'd been forgotten about and that we would never appear on there, but then I thought it was too good to be true!! I just hope that we don't start getting loads of junk mail or calls telling us we have been mis-sold our IVA because we most certainly have not.
Whilst writing, I wonder whether anyone else is feeling the same way as us now, post approval. I don't mean to sound patronising to anyone who is having a rough time at the moment, this post is certainly not to upset anyone, but hubby and I are feeling the most relaxed we have felt for about 10 years. We know that our I&E has been worked out fairly, our monthly essentials are paid and so is our IVA, so for the first time in years, we are actually managing our finances and this has chilled us out somewhat - I think in truth we are experiencing great relief.
The only worry I have, is work finding out about our IVA now we are on the register but hopefully that won't happen. There's no reason why it should.
I hope there are those of you in IVA's who are feeling the same way. It is a really nice feeling, to be in control for once.
To anyone who is thinking that things will never be brighter, hang in there and I promise you that once you are approved, it really is the beginning of the rest of your life.
