Hello every peeps... I am back! Sorry it has been a long while, but there's been so many happenings since being made redundant last October, that I really needed to get a handle on it all before jotting down updates...
WORK: The transition to new employment went well and was only a few days after redundancy, that I started in the Civil Service. It was a major struggle as the job was not really as described to me and my disabilities kicked in big time. I was fortunate to transfer to perm nights after Christmas, as what I intended and so now work 7 nights on and 7 off. The pay is a lot lower than with employer before, but being made redundant is not really a figure I can compare to (no working means no wage comparison)... Anyway, I am just about managing to survive within original budget and am in regular contact with my IVA Supervisor.
IVA: November last year, my IVA Co. moved for the second time and merged with Synergi... This had leaps and bounds of errors including...
1. Not contacting me with location or info for 8 weeks
2. Arguements over the year end... they seemed to have input in error that my last year is only 11 months long and caused all sorts of confusion over the accounting... I straightened them out, but it was an annoying task, bearing in mind these are supposed to be knowing what they are at!
3. Eventually agreed and my accounts supplied at 12 month year, I was happy to be ending year 4 of 6, but took 9 weeks to get the responses back and at that time, as they prepared the details while standing order still in transition for my payments, they logged that I was extra in arrears, even though it was over 2 months AFTER the anniversary date.
4. The arrears figure finally confirmed that I was right but after long communications, I feel that maybe the records are straight, but I will not hold my breath... I was warned on here about Synergi...... True to form!
I am now cutting my way through year 5 and only have 21 payments to go from 72, so am gritting and bearing it.
IVA Cold Calling Letters: I have been doing some sorting out recently, and came by one of the letters I past promised to dig out... It was relating to the topics in the past about companies that pick you off the register and send you letters in the mail to try and redirect your situation under potential false and maybe even harming financial situations. I promised if I found one of them, I would let you know so can be compared and if I find any others I will let you know, but this one is:

The details are written on the letter exactly as above, and it will be interesting to learn if anyone else has encountered these people and indeed if it has been reported that they are not supposed to be operating!
Personal: Yes, I am still running life single, but am hoping that now I have so much freetime I might socialise a little more, I have been looking at new social interests, so that may bring along a Maiden that needs her long hair climbing and rescuing from the tower, who knows???
dots: My Outreach Website has been going crazy recently and I have added more topics to replace dusty old ones. Moreover, I am getting great global feedback, so seem to be making a difference somewhere, so maybe originally getting into so much deep debt was not such a bad thing?!?!? (It was a part of the reason why my IVA occured)... Still; 6 years of my life is nothing compared to some of the causes it has assisted.
That'll do for now folks, I just hope you are all managing to survive your shackled financial monitoring, and I will try to look in here as regular as I can.
