    I signed up for experian about a week ago and noticed 2 max recovery accounts had disappeared as well, these were also paid off with my IVA which was completed in may. After reading your post have checked again and they are back :confused:

    Yes I thought my luck was in when they all disappeared about two weeks ago, one's back so I now suspect the other two will be soon, but they don't seem to contribute to the numerical score at all anyway. I'm more concerned that if they don't mark them as satisfied they'll be sold on and I'll have aggravating letters that I'll have to respond to from one of these scrape the barrel agencies that hope people are stupid enough to settle debts they are no longer liable for.

    Thanks Doelani, how long did you wait after finishing the IVA?

    IVA paid in May and applied in September I think.

    MBNA and flybe are the same APR at 19.9% and cap one is about 32.9 %

    Transfer Cap 1 balance to MBNA, then pay MBNA first so that you onlyhave one cc. Psychologically, if you only have one to pay then that's better. Then, funds allowing, give yourself a target of say 4 months to pay off your Fly Be, then Bob's your uncle :) GL

    Hi
    thanks for all the info on this thread.:beer:
    I just wondered if anyone got the message from Amex that says
    'We are unable to provide a decision at this time. We have recorded all the relevant information and will finalise your application as soon as possible.'
    If so,what happened, or is this just their way off saying you've been refused? :o
