Hi all just looking for some advice really. I have just completed six years of my iva. I went into the sixth year as my property is half owned with a housing association and my supervisor at the time emailed me to advise "in lieu" of releasing equity I would need to pay for the sixth year which as I have said I have completed in full. My iva supervisor is no longer with the company and the gentleman who has taken over my account has now advised that I have 28 days to forward information on a secured loan which I have against the property as i have with all previous reviews and also a valuation, if I do not comply I may be petitioned for bankruptcy. Can this still be requested after completing 6 years? I am sure that in the original documentation it basically stated either 6 years or 5 years with equity release. I am a single parent so only own 25% of the property anyway. I'm really not happy about this and want some advice on whether this is in any way normal practice? Kind regards.

It seems very unfair however difficult to provide definitive reassurance without seeing the small print of your agreement.
Have you asked to speak to your IP direct rather than a case adviser ?
Which company are you with ? There maybe someone on the forum who can advise.
Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !

Look at my blog "All I wanted was a baby"

It is probable that this is due to the new case worker not reading your file fully and I would suggest that you take it up with his manager if you cannot speak to your IP directly.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Hi

Ridiculous !

You have already extended instead of any equity release
You also can't obtain a secured loan on a part owned property !

Go back to your contact or go straight to your IP

Who are you with ?

Regards

Why is it these staff see fit to introduce, threatening statements, like petition of bankruptcy, when completely uncalled for and unnecessary.

It seems the OP if being fully compliant yet in her rights to challenge something that she does not understand or thinks is incorrect.

Its bully boy tactics and not acceptable.

Thanks for all of your replies. I have tried to get hold of my IP today, hopefully I will get a call back. Originally my iva was with Invocas, it then got moved to Cleardebt which to be honest was fine until now. Thankfully I still have the email from my original supervisor from cleardebt which as I said states that I will need to continue to pay for a further 12 months in lieu of equity release. I am hoping that as I have this in writing they will continue with my completion rather than push for even more.

That's great news, a shame you had to suffer that stress in the first place at the end of your IVA.
Good luck for the future.
