IVA unfairly recorded? 10 April 2022 at 10:30PM in Debt-free wannabe 2 replies 181 views

My financial problems came to a head in 2018. I contacted a national organisation won’t say who and they took me down the IVA route. I was unsure this was the best route for me. The creditors’ meeting agreed the IVA, but I did not agree to it and went down the DMP route instead. I now find three and a half years later I have an IVA recorded on my credit file as completed. I feel that I am being penalised for having an IVA without being in one at the end of the day? Any suggestions on what I can do?

Have you formally complained in writing to the company?  Thats your first step.  Just lay out the timeline/facts and ask them ot remove it from your credit record.

Also begs the question, why have you waited 3.5 years to bring this to their attention ?

Did you actually sign the forms ?

Its all well and good saying you chose to go down the DMP route, but if you signed your name, and did not withdraw from the agreement correctly, and within agreed timescales, then the entry may be correct.

You need to clarify things a little more here.
