End of IVA & PPI

Hi - wonder if anyone can advise. We are 1 month away from our final payment of our IVA (6 years) which is great. Recently cleaning out our loft we found some old financial papers which all had PPI attached to them. Bearing in mind August is the deadline for PPI could we just go ahead and put claims into these old insurances? Would we have to inform PayPlan?
Grateful for any response.

    It's an asset that can be used to help pay off the people you didn't pay back, which is the moral thing to do. IVA is not the same as bankruptcy (where the PPI refund belongs to the OR) but firms will offset any refund against unpaid monies where they can.

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

    I would not bother to be honest.

    Are you not aware of the Wright v green court case ? (Google is your friend).

    It is dependent on the type of arrangement you had, but most fall into this bracket, even after your IVA ends, things such as PPI claims must still be paid to your. IP.

    As the deadline is so close, and you would lose the lot anyway, I’d just forget about it.

    I'd complain on the chance that the people you owe money to get something more back?

    i am surprised that the IP have not already done all the PPI claims since you have been in the IVA anyway.

    when our IVA ended in 2015, we signed a waiver that any further PPI will go direct to the IP to sort out amongst debts. only way we could get the completion certificate sooner

    you could attempt to claim, but chances of you seeing any of it are slim

    Can I just ask what the position is with regard to statutory interest? Am I right in thinking that the debtor should get that back, though not the primary sum? Or did I dream that....

    Hi
    Yes we had Equity in Finance who sorted out the ones we had anyway. Thanks to all who responded I think I just got a bit carried away because of the struggle of the past 6 years. So happy anyway because only one month to go.

    You dreamt it I’m afraid Vicki
  • I was approached by a claim company saying even though I'd had an IVA in the past (completed October 2018) I could still claim PPI and my practitioner wouldn't require it. So I told them to go ahead and pursue a claim. To cut a long story short, Stepchange became involved and so the PPI payment made, some £900 was claimed by them. Even though the PPI referred to a loan I'd had 10 years before I entered into my IVA. Stepchange disingenuously don't broadcast this to their clients, I suppose because if they did no-one would bother claiming it. They just wait for you to claim it off your own bat and then grab it. Not very honest I think.
