Both my wife and i have had our IVA's compleated and obtained our certificates of completion after releasing equity from our home, however how do i remove all the old debt information from my credit rating, the creditors have all been paid leaving me with still a great deal of debt information showing against us, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Neelmo
Get onto the credit reference agencies and get them to ammend their records to say IVA is settled, you will probably have to send proof ie completion certificate, but your iva will stay on file for 6 yrs from start date

Experian's blurb says that defaulted accounts (ie all your original credit) remain on file for six years after default. So theoretically at least they should disappear before your IVA does, unless you were very quick off the mark with the IVA. I bet they don't exactly rush to do it tho. As kezza says it's probably largely down to you to get it cleaned up.
