If you go to a company with an in-house IP rather than a company who will have to refer you, I would say between 6-8 weeks.

That's what ours took as well.

My started my IVA application on 26 March and was accepted on 11 May 2009 a total of 46 days. If you take away weekends, then it was just 32 working days.

It also depends on how quickly all necessary information is provided to your chosen IP. ClearDebt has a fabulous reputation of getting proposals turn round very quickly - mickyboy is the testament to that.

It can be done in 24 hours if necessary. And has been many times!

i also think alot depends on how quickly you provide details when requested. I was already aware of the documents that i need to return after my initial telephone call to Cleardebt. Whilst waiting for the documents to arrive from them, i had got my paperwork ready, so it was a case of checking and signing the forms and returning them the day i recieved them. Most companies can only go as fast as you go in the proposal stage.

I would agree with Indeep on this. I started the process on the 13th of January, I provided all information required by return of post and my creditors meeting is today. The only thing that has held up the process for me is not going straight to a company with an IP. If you are just starting this process, then please read the advice on these pages, unfortunatly I got here too late to take this very good advice.

Hi GeorgeImage

Best of luck for today! We will all be keeping everything crossed for you Image

Let us know when you hear - how things have gone!

Try not to stress. I don't know who your IP is - but am sure they are taking good care of you!

Have a good day, and may the force be with you! Image
