Getting credit again after finishing IVA

Afternoon all, I'm in discussions with my I.P regarding a full and final settlement. Has anyone got any experience with how soon you were able to get credit for a vehicle after ending your IVA either early or on time as planned?

    The IVA normally clears from your credit record after 6 years, settled early or not. Before that date you are unlikely to get a good finance rate.

    You can get finance before your IVA ends, it just costs a lot!

    Your IVA firm may agree if it is necessary for your work
