IVA Company to get my PPI Money

Hello All

My IVA finished in 2013 but they went after my PPI, they tried to get my PPI from a bank but were unsuccessful, a few years later I went to the same bank gave them loads of evidence over a few months and successfully got accepted for the PPI refund last week, only to be told at the bottom of the letter that the cheque would be written to the IVA company.

I suspect there is nothing I can do to stop this, just sucks even more that they went for the money and didn’t get it, I go for the money after hard work, get it, then they take it.

Also Money Saving Expert said you can ask for the tax deduction back from the HMRC, can I claim this part without the IVA getting their hands on it?

    Any and all proceeds from the PPI complaint belong to the IVA..

    You are not entitled to receive any redress where you still owe money. An IVA does not extinguish a debt because is unlikely you paid back more than you owed.
    You can complain to the ombudsman if you like but don't expect success.

    The money ends up going to the creditors that lost out because of the haircut they took as part of the settlement. I'm sure you not paying your debts sucked for them too.

    Do tell, how much did you originally owe and how much did you end up paying back?

    I suspect you are still a winner.
