  • Well done for getting sorted. I have just over 1 year left on my IVA and can really see the light at the end of the tunnel. The time will pass quickly, so stick with it, budget well, and you will come out on top!!!

    That's really good news! Well done! :T I know you were worried about it being accepted so this must be a big weigth off your shoulders!

    The time will fly by and you will at least have peace of mind about it all from now on.

    Excellent result :)

    Rusco - an IVA is an Independent Voluntary Agreement. Lots of info on here if you like to do a search ;)

    Great stuff! :) A massive result and I know just how great you feel.

    An important point to remember that although IVAs seem a comparitively easy way out they're not right for everybody's situation and anyone considering one MUST speak to CCCS or Payplan for free advice to make sure it's a good option. Don't get fleeced by some money-grabbing debt company without your interests at heart.
