letter - IVA checkline

[martinw]

'IVA checkline' (formprep limited) have just sent me a letter saying I could be debt free in 6 months (obviously don't know my IVA is finished!)

Looks like they are trying to sell bankruptcy/DRO, but are also targeting property owners(not sure if either is a good idea if your a property owner)

I dare say they got my address from the insolvency register

I have seen threads about them from about 3-4 years ago but thought I'd bring them up again

They prey on those of us on the Insolvency register and to me a very good reason why it should only be available on a need to know basis not a public document.

I would question why a regulated firm like this would be allowed to market to those on the insolvency register. I can't see them giving me better advice than my IP but I can see them causing problems for others by destroying an IVA

edit: by destroying I mean damaging all the goodwill between debtor and IP and creditors. I think we all remember the nerves about will it be accepted etc, if you break it will they let you have another go ? far from guaranteed i'd reckon

I think they always rely on people not reading into these things properly.

Shocking but it'll happen over and over again. Ambulance chasers like these gave us a lot of paper to start fires with when we were in our IVA.

I would love to know if this firm are properly licenced for carrying out their services. Does the letter contain any information about who they are regulated by, and what permissions they hold?
