I thought I would give a final update if it can help anyone:
Final payment made on 4/3/22 and I have received the completion certificate on 14/7.
Insolvency register received the completion on 18/7 and 2 out 3 credit reference agencies already updated the records to show the IVA is completed.
I know it will stay there for 6 years in total ( give a month maybe for the record to actually update?) but at least now I can start getting the green ticks lined up so as not to have a clean but empty record when it does drop off.
On an extra plus side, I just got a job in the legal sector, despite the IVA being on file still, as it is completed, which was a big reason for me to make the F&F in the first place.
The completion certificate was indeed an underwhelming looking piece of paper, but I’ve never been so happy to see mail in my life
