You will probably find that the debts were sold on to this company at the start.

Thanks for the help so does that mean they got paid off the iva then. As why buy a debt that was going through an iva. Only just realised these were on and I'm not sure what debt they bought. Does it drop off with your iva at the 6 year point. Sorry all the questions just never heard of it before.

Firms buy debts, usually in auction style lots -- like those pallet returns -- they don't know what's in the bundle until they have bought it. They usually pay pennies in the pound for them, so can take the gamble. They are bound by the IVA in exactly the same way as the original creditor and the default will still drop off at the 6th anniversary --- but you do need to watch they they don't put a newer default on file -- if they do, it has to have the same date as the original, so will drop off the same time.

A lot of companies do sell off debts before and after starting an IVA. It should drop off at the end of the six years but you will need to check your credit record at the end.

Thanks to you's both for explaining that to me. Think l need to contact iva and see what the company's were and who bought them and what dates.

A lot of my debts were sold on. For most of them I've received letters saying that the debt had been taken over.
