Hi all,

I am now in the close out process and was wondering how often I should chase DFD on this matter.... Considering that it took them 3 months to acknowledge that I have do the DoA thing and they kept asking me to sign new ones!!

They are also quoting 6 months to close it!?!
Anyone else with DFD got any advice?
Last Payment on Jan 5th 2016!

6 months is standard for them but the more you nag it seems to speed things up.
IVA started March 2011, Completed March 2016 and certificate issued 11 days after final payment. It was not always easy but then some of the best decisions aren't.

6 months is the standard time allowed for in most arrangements. However, many firms can, and do, complete faster. Polite progress enquiries will often serve to keep you in mind, as well as alert you to problems, if they arise, sooner rather than later. I would definitely enquire monthly, maybe more often as time passes.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014

Keep the pressure on them to close. 6 months is too long in my personal opinion unless there are key issues outstanding to be sorted.

As I often say, it's sometimes 'he who shouts loudest'. So keep hassling them, it may speed up the proceedings.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
