That's really good news. I'm glad you stuck to your guns and it all worked out for you - good luck for the future.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.

Dare I say this? Yes!!

I think that the fees that GT were proposing to charge on this case were scandalous particularly when they, acting as a creditors agent, are constantly trying to cut my level of fees which are considerably less for IVA's which involve no less work.

Of course, the reason that they were so high was that they were based on 15% of IVA contributions, giving the IP a conflict of interest in recommending the level of IVA contribution.

Received the Chairman's report so thought I would post the voting results,

Creditor Value of Vote Accept/Reject
Barclaycard £4,33.62 Accept
Citifinactial Europe £3,634.35 Accept
Lloyds TSB £6,349.45 Accept
Lloyds TSB £15,536.94 Accept

Total £29,954.46

Capital One £8,999.21 Reject

Inteligent Finance, my largest creditor (approx £32,000) did not even bother to vote and this surprised me, however, their apathy went in my favour as not voting was clearly counted as acceptance under the process rules.

Another surprise was Capital One's rejection given the return offered was £0.52 in the pound. I have since received a 'Default Notice' from Capital One. The letter was really quite threatening/intimidating in tone and content although there was a sentence saying that no payment was being asked for. It noted that I had entered into a voluntary arrangement with my creditors and then went on to suggest I seek advice from a solicitor.

I Will just pass it on to my IP. As if having gone through this whole situation I am going to be bothered by the credit reference agencies being informed I have defaulted on my credit card agreement or by a strongly worded letter from a disgruntled creditor. I get the impression Capital One are not happy with the proposal being accepted!

Good luck to those who are still struggling through the process.

John

Hi John
Interesting that Inteligent finance did not vote as they held the deciding vote.
A non vote in at a creditors meeting is not viewed as a yes vote.It just means that the total debt for voting purposes was reduced from 71k to 39k and you would need a yes vote equivelent to 75% or more of 39k[30k ish] so you just scraped through...........well done again and I am still amazed at GT initial figure of £1150 per month ????
Trouble is how many people go with this and do not challenge the figures only to find that they can't afford the repayments several months down the line ?

Hi John, it is really refreshing to hear a story where you knew you couldn't pay anymore and stuck to the monthly payment you could afford. I think this is important as unfortunately im sure that some people feel pressured to agree to increased payments as they dont see any other way to solve their debt problem.
