OK, IVA approved and gone through and was wondering if we should shred all our credit card statements?

Hi baldy, I'm not sure whether it's advisable to shred everything. But I did the same and it is very cathartic!! I just kept the last statement from each creditor. Felt like I was getting rid of toxic waste!!

I'm the wrong person to ask - I've still got all my IVA and BR paperwork!

My IVA file is a wonder to behold! If only my finances were this well organised a few years ago...

Mine have all gone now although only this year approximately about 2 months ago, I had a good clear out x
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.

I would hang on to them for a few months in case there are any queries, or parcel them up and send them to your IP.

I would keep the last 1 of each and get rid of the rest. At least then you have something to fall back on if the question it at a later date.
I still have some old ones filed away from when I used to be alright with my finances

Mine were all shredded a long time ago.

We haven't got a shredder at the moment and I'm too tight to buy another one!
