issues with iva company not sure what to do.
Options
Hi,
My Husband got into debt not sure of the actually figures i just know it was over 20k.
He started a debt management plan and was paying into that for 3 yrs but struggled to to make the payments and it was suggested to him by the company to go into an IVA which he did in 2006, he has been paying over 300 a month to accuma since then.
no problems with payments untill they changed to grant thornton (think it was 2 yrs ago) the direct debits stopped coming out and we had to keep ringing them to make payment and we got behind they said it would be fine and that it would be added on to the end of the iva. Our Family grew and we told them that we couldnt afford the amount we were paying and communictaion on their part is horrendous took months to sort out and in the end we ended up behind on the payments 2 months missed and they sent a letter february last year telling us they were terminating the iva.
By this point i think hubby had had enough so stopped paying altogether and looked into the bankruptcy option. he paid all the fees to go bankrupt but couldnt go any further due to not having the termination certificate.
in october last year he was very ill in hospital and i had to call grant thornton on his behalf to find out what was taking so long they told me it would be issued soon. 2 months later Hubby had to ring again to chase up to be told not to go through bankruptcy and that they would end the iva early (we thought it had already been terminated in the feb????) and taking the funds paid in to the creditors to see if they would settle with that instead and was told they couldnt see a reason why they wouldnt.
finally in march this year we heard back to be told the creditors had rejected. and that they would terminate it and send us certificate so that we can carry on with bankruptcy we are still waiting now. every time we call we get fobbed off feel like we are going round in circles and not sure what to do.

its when it comes the letters and numbers bit (making sure im a human) it is telling me ive entered it wrong.0
-
I am told there is no known fault, so can only suggest trying again. Sorry.0
-
If the letters and numbers are not clear there is normally a little refresh button next to the box that will bring up some more. Just keep pressing it until you get some you definitely can see properly. I'm assuming its a 'catcha' style registration check0
