You dealt well with the creditors. Be polite and don't let them talk over you. Or just hit the reject key.

I never spoke to Mercers until the day my IVA was approved and I took great delight in telling her!

She still asked me for a payment though!

Hi, as said before our creditors meeting is next Wednesday but obviously we are still getting letters chasing the debt from creditors and debt collectors. Do we still need to send these onto IP or is there no point now the date is set? Thanks

Save them up and send in one go once the outcome of your meeting is known. They are useful to enable your IP to reconcile the balances due.

Hi, have spoken to Claire today regarding a letter received from Northern Rock saying they are charging an admin fee for voting on and dealing with our propsal! She said they have had quite a few of these from different clients and not to worry but i'm thinking why would they charge? is it because they might get a little more of the dividend or are they charging because they have voted no. Little worried about it. What does anyone else think? Any comments please.

It is unusudal, but I am sure that the contractual agreement you have with Northern Rock allows them to do this. How much are they charging you as a matter of interest? I will have to equate the time they spend on looking at this, to the time I spend on putting the case together and supervising it. That will be interesting when they perhaps challenge my fees in future!!!

Hi Melanie, I have sent the letter in the post to Claire today. It was £63.50 I think. Have you not had this before?? Definitely worried now.

I think I have heard talk about these charges around the office, but it is not something to be too concerned about to be frank.

Like I said, the only thing i'm thinking is why make a charge? What would be the point? Do they think its a good thing by maybe getting more as what would be the point in making a charge if we can't pay the original amount.

I suspect the charge is made to cover their additional costs.
