Good day,setting up an IVA with Blair Endersby

[geoff1951]

Good day,

I am in the process of setting up an IVA with Blair Endersby. But I am having serious problems with them. I completed the forms they sent me, included in that was paperwork regarding very old personal pension that I used to contribute to, some years ago, I stopped before 1998. Blair Endersby requested that I contact Royal Scottish Pensions to discover if there were any funds left. This I did, while on the phone the girl said that what funds were in the pension, she never said how much, will not be available until I am 65.

I then passed this information onto Blair Endersby, they got back to me demanding that I get that in writing, this i duly did, while on the phone the girl passed me onto someone else who in turn passed me onto someone else, I ended up speaking and repeating myself to four people, I hung up on them. They also now deny that anyone ever said that the funds will be available when I am 65.

I informed Blair Endersby that I was not going to contact Royal Scottish pension again, the woman I spoke to then proceeded to hold me to ransom over the IVA saying that the IVA could not go ahead, this after they informed me that it has been approved. The whole idea of adding the pension was if there were any funds they could be added to the IVA, I keep telling them it was just an idea, which has not worked out, but they keep insisting that I re-contact them to get something in writing.

I have been with Blair Endersby for 3 months now and they have taken £398 off me already, saying this is the setup fees etc. The direct debit will be collected on 1st Jan for £175 and will do for the rest of the five years.

Any advice you can give men on this will be most appreciated.

Hi,

Sorry to hear about all the problems you have had thus far. I would be inclined not to go with Blair Endersby and I speak from personal experience. They are more than happy to help you at the beginning but when things change down the line they will give you hell - trust me.

You can review various firms on www.iva.com, but personally I would recommend a lady called Melanie Giles who posts on here. Her firm are absolutely fantastic and you really cannot go wrong.
