Hi
I do not post here very often but feel I need some help regarding my IVA.
My final payment into my IVA was in August 2012 and some 15 months later I am still no closer to getting my IVA signed off as completed and being able to move on with my life.
Debt Free Direct never reply to emails I send them (or if they do they are generic replays) all they have ever really done for me is send through yearly reports. As I paid every month without fail I feel it is unacceptable to still be waiting for my IVA to be completed some 15 months later.
When I do get a reply from DFD they say my case is still awaiting PPI claims to be resolved and I need to contact EIF.
Well lets not get started on these people, they have had my PPI cases (not through my choice I was basically told I had to go with them) for close to 2 years and they have still not completed any work. I only get contact from them when I email them I am never kept informed of my case. They have taken thousands from PPI claims and provide a shoddy service.
All of this is coursing me a lot of stress I want to be able to move on with my life and starting build a credit history so I can at least get a new mobile phone contract.
Am I able to complain to the financial ombudsman about these companies as I really do think for the amount of money both companies have made out of me the service has been a disgrace.
Hi -- The FO will not be interested in these matters. What you need to do is to formally complain to DFD through their internal complaints procedure. If that produces no results you need to complain to their regulators.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
Arh right thanks I wasn't sure if it would be the FO, who would be the regulators for IVA and PPI companies?
I have just sent off a rather polite but firmly put email to DFD and will see if they reply if not I will send an official complaint to them.

Hi
Why can't you agree to Debt Free Direct issuing you with your documents whilst PPI claims are ongoing. I thought they did MVM Meetings like GT?
All DFD ever say is your case is with EIF and they can't do anything more until thats completed. I am getting very fed up with them now. They have made thousands out of me over the last 6 years and the service is shocking.
