To confirm, as i'm three years into my IVA, it will remain on my credit profile for another three years. If I finish my IVA earlier, as i'm hoping to do, can I apply to have the IVA removed earlier?
i dont think so.
it will say iva satisfied or something along those lines but will not drop off untill 6 years from start date even if you do a f&f and finnish early

No you won't be able to have it removed earlier. You will have to wait for the full six years until it drops off your record.

As the others have said the IVA will stay on your credit file for 6 years from the date of your creditors meeting, after which time you'll be able to start rebuilding your credit file.
