IVA failure/completion stats now released for 1987 - 2008

Funny how the Stats became meaningless once you weren't able to use them to disgrace the Insolvency Industry!
Nobody, as far as I can see, is trying to use these statistics to 'disgrace' the 'Insolvency Industry' (your choice of words - not mine - although it certainly has grown into an 'industry' of late).
If the statistics do point to a failing (any failing) within the realm of IVA administration, then it is only right and proper that those statistics are published and investigated so that any revealed failures can be reviewed and, hopefully, rectified.
If that means clearing out some of the less professional elements of your profession then, surely, that can only be good for both 'debtors' and the whole procedure of IVAs as a whole?I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

Finally, something i can agree with! (Although your attempt to use the word "industry" as if it is some kind of derogatory remark is somewhat churlish - it is and always has been an industry, part of the finance industry, you might have heard of that one! Also what is everyone's problem with industry/work and companies earning money? Am I on a Chinese forum? Or a forum from good old Mother Russia?)
The problem for most of the posters on this thread so far however is that these stats dont seem to point to any actual wrong-doing on the parts of any of the IVA companies - hence BAT rejecting the findings and Fermi going off in search of further statistics: DONT LIKE THOSE RESULTS, BRING ME DIFFERENT ONES!
What the Stats do show (at this stage) is that there is little/no evidence to support mass mis-selling of IVAs.
I would expect the numbers of failures to rise in the near future with the Global Recession hitting home and people losing their jobs or losing out on large proportions of their earnings and (as i said earlier in this thread and over on the other thread in IVA) the numbers of failures does indicate a failing of the industry to react to changing circumstances and so it is up to the IPs, the Creditors and the Law-makers to find some kind of way around this.
And personally the sooner the better!Would you ask the wolves to look after the sheep?

Priceless quote
An IVA does not have to fail to be mis-sold.
You will have a field day with that comment.
For the record, you are making yourself look dafter with evry attack on me, as you have jumped to the wrong conclusion i dont hate IVA's, they have there place in insolvancy, and are the only solution in some situations, without loseing everything.
What i do hate is the glossy TV adds and the companies behind them claiming writing of a big chunk of your debt by useing a loophole or little known piece of legislation etc.
PS WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?
I was actually happy to see the failure rate at only 10.9% in 2008, but cautious it may not be so rosey in a few years, we shall all have to wait and see.DONT LIKE THOSE RESULTS, BRING ME DIFFERENT ONES!
Sorry, but how the hell do you know what i wanted to see in those figures?
I am looking at them in a totaly differant light to you, and they dont answer what i really wanted to know, because the stats dont exist yet, I wanted to know how the current climate was affecting failure rates, nothing to do with mis-selling
Why, because i care more about people than figures;)Thats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….0 -
any particular reason three posts were deleted here?Would you ask the wolves to look after the sheep?

You're right, that IS a priceless quote... I suppose now you'll be telling me that those successfully completed IVAs would have been better off in 18yr DMPs.
PS WHO DO YOU WORK FOR? That's none of your concern
Of course the figures wont be so rosy in a few years time, there's been a global recession... Do you expect IPs to foresee whose circumstances will change in two years time and whose wont!?

yeah, i hear ya, you've hung a man for murder and you just need to round up a few witnesses now! "The proof doesn't exist yet for what i want to spout"
Ok whatever, i know me, So do many others on here, personaly, you dont, i will let them judge, not you!.
I notice you did not answerWHO DO YOU WORK FOR?
Is it one of those companies with the glossy adds? Or a decent IP firm?Thats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….0 -
THAT IS A LOW DOWN, DIRTY LIE! I did answer, i told you to mind your own business. If it helps you to rest easy at night tho i will tell you that i dont work for a TV ad IVA company. I'm not a fan of then either but neither do i believe in IP Bogeyman... Even the so called factories do a job!Would you ask the wolves to look after the sheep?

Not good enough, I and everyone else, wants a name, so we can judge you as you have judged us.
Just what is your intrest in you posting here?
It is in your own intrest, as others have come here, and touted for trade, i would hate for others to tarr you with the same brush.
And before you say it, no there is nothing in your posts to indicate you have,
Your other posts even show a level of distrust for other so called IVA factories, but that could be read two ways;)
There is a private messaging system that has been abused before, so i say again, it is in your intrest to stop shouting and state your intrestThats it, i am done, Blind-as-a-Bat has left the forum, for good this time, there is no way I can recover this account, as the password was random, and not recorded, and the email used no longer exits, nor can be recovered to recover the account, goodbye all ………….0 -
