    Providing I havent been lied to (and it doesnt appear that way so far!!) its from the start. Its 6 years in total.

    hope that helps!!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
  • yes, the IVA is recorded on your file for 6 years from the start date. I came out of my IVA early after 3 years, but it will still be there until november this year.

    i no this sounds stupid but how do you come out of a iva early?
  • You do a "Full and Final Settlement" You have to have another creditors meeting and give them a proposal of a lump sump to either accept or decline as final settlement. My IVA supervisor suggested it.
