Miss- managed administration on inheritance that should have been paid into IVA

ClarenceWurley

So, I finished my IVA two months ago and received my certificate of completion and final report last week. Upon looking at the final report I noticed that some inheritance I was due hadn't been paid into the IVA, worried the money had gone missing I phoned the solicitor dealing with the estate, and was told they still held the funds. The solicitor told me they hadn't realised the funds to the debt management company, because the completion of the paperwork sent by the debt management company wasn't satisfactory.
Now that the IVA is finished and I have the certificate of completion, do the debt management company still have a legal claim to the money?

Hi,

The money should now be yours to keep as you have your certificate of completion, however, i suspect your IP will say it was an error, and you may have a fight on your hands, but if its not mentioned in the final report, and as you say, you have your certificate, it may be they will not come looking for it.

Is the solicitor willing to release the funds to you ?

Not until they have talked to the IP, I have sent a copy of the final report and certificate of completion to the solicitor .

When was the money due to be paid out and when did you receive your completion certificate?

I gave th IP that phoned me permission to speak to the solicitor in march, my IVA ended late August, and got my certificate of completion 2 weeks ago.
