Paid off IVA early

hi all, going back several years I got into some financial trouble and entered into a IVA, I was paying the monthly charge every month with no payments missed, I then had some inheritance from my late mother and paid off the IVA early, I was told that I would receive a certificate of completion, this was last April and I still haven't heard anything from them, I did send them a email going back last year but just had a email back saying it takes time to sort out, should I have received this by now and is there anything I can do.
TIA

    have you checked the insolvency register?

  • It should take no longer than 6 months, as it has been longer than that you have grounds to log a formal complaint to the Insolvency Practitioner. 
    As above, do check the insolvency register and all of your Credit Reports (Transunion / Equifax / Experian) for 'Discharged / Settled / Closed' etc on the public record section.
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing

    Make sure you have all relevant evidence (emails / bank transaction of paying f&f settlement) documents etc. Good luck, you are doing the right thing it shouldn't take any longer than 6 months.
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.
