  • Congrats Dan. This is my first post too so think yourself lucky! lol

    I have literally just finished my IVA (28th August) after 5 years and it feels incredible! The sudden feeling of being 'rich' again is great! The IVA was such a good move for me (and you) and it's the right way to deal with your debts. Take it on the chin and move on.
    You'll soon find that the payments become easier and easier and then after a while you'll hardly notice it at all and treat it as just one of those things. Once it's finished you'll feel a million pounds! In fact, do what i do and continue to pay it off every month but into a cash ISA instead. If you lived without it for 5 years during the IVA, you can live without it and put it towards a savings account.

    Well done mate and good luck!
