Hi,

Your IVA will drop off six years after it was approved.

You will need to check your files to make sure there are no defaults have been registered after the date of acceptance. If so, you need to write to those creditors and get them to remove the defaults.

6 years from the date the IVA was registered, assuming it has completed and marked as such at the CRA's.

If the IVA is not marked as completed it can hang around much longer, until such time the CRA is advised it has been completed.

The update should be done automatically by the Insolvency Service, but worth checking your file to make sure it's done, and as already stated to ensure that there are no defaults placed post IVA implementation date.

Hi there.....definitely 6 years after the IVA was registered. But do make sure you check your credit file with all appropriate agencies. I had to write to many creditors as they had incorrect dates regarding settlement of the debt etc or even date IVA was registered.

The main date is the Original Default Date, yes they should be marked as Satisified or Partially Satisified, with a date and a zero balance too.

It is this "orginal default date" which is used for the 6 years, so this is the one to get right.

6 Years after the IVA was registered, but only if it is marked as completed.
