Congratulations Helen hun

Amazing that you are finally finished and ready to start a fresh future debt free and even better you get to take your new financial mentality forward with you which will mean without trying you will continue to budget and live financially securely as it has become integrated into your life over the past 5 years and become part of who you are. I really think that is one of the best aspects of an IVA yes it's hard and yes I wish I hadn't got into the situation in the first place but when I look at how I spent money and handled my finances over 3 1/2 years ago when I started my IVA it was a very different story to how I run them now.

I am so glad you are staying with us on the forum and your experience from end to end of an IVA will be invaluable for other people starting or still in IVA's.

Sending you all the respect and happiness I can possibly muster and sending it all your way for your very special day you have wanted to come for the past 60 months.

Well done

Davey xx

Congratulations Helen!

I know other people are struggling, but your story is an inspiration so don't worry about 'banging on', as you're not! You're allowed to feel smiley today!

Huge Congratulations Helen!
Its not bragging at all you have worked hard and achieved something huge - plus it gives us all hope when we see people reaching that finish line and certainly makes me feel hopeful that we will be there one day too [:D][:D][:D][:D]

It's some of the best news I have read on here for a while, and you really do deserve some good luck now, and be able to relax.

We've been with you through the ups and downs and it's now finally all over.

Thanks MTL - I'd like to take the credit for it but it was one of our other posters who did that for me!

Are you definitely coming to FF?
