I am in an IVA with Pay Plan and have to deal with a case worker. When I call I speak to a different case worker each time and have been offered conflicting advice. I have read on various sites, including yours, that I should have a IP. Can I insist that I speak to this person?
Yes you can request to speak to your IP if you are not satisfied with what you are being told by the Case Workers. The IP (Insolvency Practitioner) is the person who is licensed to formally propose and supervise your IVA.
It is unforuntate you haven't got one dedicated person looking after you but this is how the larger companies usually operate. Either way, you have a right to speak wit your IP and to get clear facts about your case.
Keep us posted as to how you get on.

I used to have the same problem with staff at Accuma, but once i emailed my IP directly he was absolutely fantastic and resolved my problems in less than 3.5 hours!!
I have to say that I've not had that problem with Payplan. I've had the same dedicated caseworker for the past two years now.
As the others have said though, you have the right to speak to your IP so use the link animaleyes has posted.

Its good to hear your experience has not been the same Jan and that you have had a dedicated case worker - I think it can make a lot of difference.
Hope you get things sorted soon Tracey.

i too sometimes get through to another case worker but i just ask for them and normally get them on the phone.
coming up to 2 years now and ive had at least 5 different case workers.
the one i have now i have not had cause to talk to so its not too much of a problem.
you would think barring people either moving on or being promoted etc that its in the interest of the main ip to keep a bit of continuity with case workers staying put and at least having some knowledge of your case

I think barring an individuals career progression or ability to move on might be a bit unreasonable (as they have lives too!) but I know what you mean - it sounds like some continuity in some areas would be good but that is down to the company to ensure sufficient knowledge transfer takes place.

tina i meant that leaving out promotion etc there shoudnt any further reasons to have so many changes in your case worker.
i do my job on a regular basis and would only change what i do if i was asked to do a different task.
i was not suggesting chaining them to there computer seats[:D]

Hi thanks for the tip, I tried the Practitioner website but couldn't fine my person and when I rang Payplan they said the IP won't speak to clients
Not sure where to go from here.

Were with payplan and have a named officer. So far so good not had any problems at all. Are you registered with justabank? Your case officer details are on their and you can always email the person via that and then you have wriiten proof of what has been discussed and who by if the need may arise. Good luck hope you get sorted soon xx
What name do you have for your IP? He should be on the find an IP site. Payplan have several.
