in IVA & DRO
soooooo happy, I have just sent the last IVA payment, 6 years of struggling and stress are now finally over,

I have been crying tears of joy for the last hour and the relief I feel is amazing,

Just want to say to anyone struggling at the moment, please don't give up as the feeling of being debt free is one that is so brilliant :)

Off out tonight to celebrate :)

    Well done, its a hard slog and im pleased you have got there, just a slight word of caution it can take a little time to get your completion certificate and that is when it is formally finished, also have you looked or your IP asked about looking at missold PPI yet (assuming you had PPI and that it was missold)
