we had an variation meeting on thursday to see if we are able to finish our iva with a f+f payment haven't heard anything from Grant Thornton is this usual thanks
No, it should not be usual, I would definitely give them a ring first thing to see what the outcome of the meeting was and good luck for a positive response.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
You should definitely have been advised of the outcome of your creditors meeting the same day. Were you asked to sit by the phone, or monitor your e-mail, during the time of the meeting?
