Hi, my partner and I are goin through the process of an iva, it should be sorted on Friday for definite. Ive come to use my bank today and its been frozen 😢 im with Halifax but my partner has debt with them. We were told I could keep my account as it isn't classed as my debt with them. What do I do? Ive been told by the bank that the person dealing with my iva will help me and unfreeze my account. Is this correct?
Thankyou

Basically they have followed bankruptcy procedures in error and have frozen the account to the order of the OR ( which doesn't exist in an IVA ). Your IP needs to give them a tinkle and tell them to release the account as they have frozen it by mistake.

Thankyou so much for your reply 😊 you have put my mind at ease. Do you know how long it takes to unfreeze once the call is made?
Thankyou

That will depend on the bank and it's systems -- in theory it should only take a button push. But finding the qualified and duly authorised button pusher is the trick.

Hiya, weve just found out that my partners bank account with Halifax has been frozen, as some of his debt is with them. Is there anyway he will be able to recover the money in there as it is for rent. He was in the process of transferring it over to find out its frozen 😢
