Hi
We are currently in an IVA, started it with ACCUMA and then Grant Thornton bought it from them. Have a Ford KA 1.3 (53 reg) which is costing me afortune in repairs as i do a lot of mileage getting to and from work. I am awaiting a payment from my personal injury claim (happened in January 2010) and really need to get a more reliable car (as new as possible) due to the mileage i do (approx 300 miles per week). ive broken down more times than i can remember and as i have a 4 year old its not nice sitting in the dark waiting for the AA. Think im going to get between £3,000 and £5,000. Have spoken to Grant Thornton and they know about the problems with the car but are saying its dependent on how much i get how much they take. I am still struggling from the injuries and really need to get a 5 door (now got a 3 door). Have looked at our original proposal from Accuma and it states windfall, settlement etc (nothing about personal injury). I think theyre going to try to take the lot and am just after some advice where we stand.
Thank you
