Hi All, just wanted to share some news to let everyone know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
My IVA ended in Jan 2012 and I received my completion certificate in Sept 2013. I wanted to buy my first house but was concerned as to whether I would be able to obtain a mortgage.
I contacted Zebra Money, as recommended in this forum, and I was successful in obtaining a mortgage with a high-street lender, with the help of Zebra Money.
I cannot recommend Zebra Money enough, my mortgage advisor, Mike, worked with me in ensuring my credit files were all clear and advising me on my options. The process was completely hassle-free.
If you have been in an IVA then I am pleased to say that you can get on with your life afterwards. I completed contracts on my new house yesterday.
I best go now, there's a paint brush and few tins of paint with my name on it.... #128515;

Great post, James, and well done to Zebra Money ( represented by Ryan on the forum).
Best of luck in the new house and with your debt free (apart from the mortgage) future
Onward and Upward.

We're just in the process of changing mortgage companies & Mike from Zebra is dealing with that for us. He is fantastic! Each time I've emailed him (and there's been numerous times!) he has replied straight away. He has manged to get us a deal with a high street bank which will save us £300+ a month[:D]Just doing all the paperwork now so hopefully we will have everything signed & sealed for beginning of August.
Love this debt free life!! [:)][:)]

It is great to see so many posters obtaining mortgages after their IVAs have completed and moving on with their lives being debt free

There is light at the end of the tunnel for people at the end of their IVA's, you just need to find the right people!
Hope your happy in the new home and good luck with the painting!
