1 Year into IVA

Hi All


Just a quick question, I am 1 year into an IVA at present and my IVA payments are to last for 6 years in total. I know IVA's mostly last 5 years and then drop off your credit file after 6 years. My creditors wanted an extra year due to the amount I owed. So my question is when my IVA payments finish after the 6 years will that be it or will I have to wait till the 7th year for it to be off my credit file?


Many thanks

    Oh that's great, for some reason I thought it might of stayed on for another year after the final payment.
