Wow been waiting over 2 months now for my iva annual review and whats happening with it but now the companies i owe money to are getting intouch and letting me see what i owe and its not changed at all! The balance is the same! Ive paid in 2000 in a year and nothing has changed , is that right?
Quite probably ! Standard IVA agreements give priority to Nominees fees and this will be outlined in your chairman's report of the initial creditors meeting. That apart statements from creditors cannot be relied upon as they often freeze accounts and allocate IVA repayments to a dummy account.
With regards to the review -- they are supposed to complete it within 2 months of the anniversary date of the IVA, but a few are norotious for going over ! Chase them if you are unduly worried -- it is YOUR IVA, so you can drive it !
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
Agree with foggy, the first year tends to show little to the creditors, but picks up from year 2 onwards.
Chase your IP up for the annual review if you don't hear from them as it is your responsibility to ensure the conditions of your iva are met.

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !
Thought I would jump on here instead of starting another.
I have been in an IVA since 2015 and it's ticking along nicely. I was moved over to Creditfix from Knightsbridge in 2017 and I have now had a statement of account from one of my creditors which shows no change in 12 months. I have queried this with them and they have confirmed that they have received no payment from my IVA in 12 months. I have paid over £4000 into the IVA since Creditfix took over including a bonus and I'm slightly miffed that my creditors haven't got any. I went into this with the intention of paying back everything I could not just to line the pockets of an IVA company ( I do realise there are some fees for the IP!)
As my IVA was already established when Creditfix took over should they not have been paying my creditors as usual or is this like the op and they are taking their 12 months?
I personally wouldn't worry - it will all even out in the end.

This is where you have to do a little detective work. Dig out your original Chairman's Report, which should have details of the agreed fee structure. This is usually a sum for Nominees fees (often in the region of 1500 - 1750 per IVA) which is garnered from your first payments ( sometimes set at 6 months or a year ). After this they are entitled to a percentage or time based fee for supervision --- this should come out as a proportion of the dividend which is distributed according to the Report (often quarterly or 6 monthly).
When CF took over did you sign up to any new terms and conditions ? If so, look at whatever you agreed to then. If you did sign anything ask to see the Chairman's Report of the variation meeting held with creditors at that time and see what was agreed.

Thank you for your reply - I will dig out the original report.
This creditor is saying that have received no payments at all since my IVA started which is a worry. I can see from my credit report that the balance on the other debts is going down so not sure why this one isn't.
I didn't sign the new terms when CF took over despite being asked repeatedly to do so. I've asked CF to sent me a statement of all payments made to creditors since my IVA started but I'm not certain they will provide this.
The costs come out first, which creditors will have agreed to so they effectively come out of the creditors pockets as it reduces the dividend available.
