Good luck! Everyone on here is really nice - and lots of people always waiting for their creditors meetings too. I come on here just to let off steam and panic - and I always feel loads better afterwards!

Hi and welcome to the forum. Were quite new too the iva process being only 6 months in. So far so good and can only say its been a positive experience for us and has brought us alot closer together. Still managing to save whilst in the plan and will be off to turkey in 9 weeks. All paid for by our hard earned cash!!!! Albeit not been easy. Good luck and hope all goes to plan. I remember all the feelings all too well. xx

I would say that you need to make sure you understand every aspect of this before you go through with this. It can be good but not for everyone, it all depends on which firm you decide to go with, some are not as good as others, also I am sure I am going to be beaten up by saying this but this web site is one of the better but never forget, whoever you decide to do your IVA with its not from the bottom of their hearts that they want you, its all about money and that the bottom line, even here I do find its a bit sicky at time with so many people singing praises here about certain firms but it is about profit and nothing more.You pay they delliver !!!

good luck

Dont make me feel bad!!!! The holiday was booked way before we admitted there was a problem. It was the hardest thing i've ever had to do. My pride was crushed. I just sooo wish we'd sorted out our mess years before. God have we learnt our lesson!!! Never will we obtain any credit ever again bar our mortgage obviously.

Hi,

thanks for all your replies, it sure helps to know im not the only person in this situation, although sometimes it sure as hell feels like it.

Im with Freeman Jones and my main creditors are Halifax, Santander and shop Direct.

This time next week i will hopefully be out of my misery in a few hours time [:)]

Thanks again
