How long does a name stay on the insolvency register once an IVA is completed, does it come off automatically or do you have to contact them?

Hi! I am led to believe that it should come off pretty much straight after completion but hopefully one of the experts will be able to confirm x

Yup it should come off just after you receive your completion certificate.

It shows as satisfied but can stay on there for 3 months.

Mine dropped of within 2-3 weeks even though they state it will remain there for 3 months on there website. Very strange and no idea of the logic they use.

Hi, we received our certificate 2 days ago, i rang the Insolvency Register Line this morning to ask how long our names stayed on, the lady said upto 3 months, i checked the register later this afternoon and our names have been removed, so in our case it took 2 days. Good luck.

Sorry, to answer your other question, it's done automatically, i think your ip sends the relevant paperwork to the registrar, this is what happened in our case anyway.

Yes they do Andy - I think it may depend on how much of a backlog the service has.

My CC was dated 26th April and by 01 May I was off the registar!

Not fair! Ours was mid March and we are still on!! Although knowing we will be off by the middle of June makes me feel better

Its quite strange how some are removed much quicker than others.

I wonder if it makes a difference with which court was used?

Mine stayed on 3 months to the day of my F&F meeting, and I was under the impression that it was F&F that stayed on for 3 months and 'normal' IVA's came off much sooner...

Can't wait to come off x

I think I clicked on report something on my own entry or something like that to say it had been completed and within 24 hours it had been removed.

Mine was removed within a couple of days. Maybe it makes a difference whether you do the full IVA term or do an F&F? But that is anyone's guess, probably down to who is working and what mood they're in.
