That's 8 years!

Have they given any reasons for the extensions?
IVA started March 2011, Completed March 2016 and certificate issued 11 days after final payment. It was not always easy but then some of the best decisions aren't.

The original term of 72 months is common if the dividend is very low, or if NRAM ( Northern Rock) were a creditor.

These 6 year arrangements can still be extended by a further 12 months in lieu of equity .... but that would still only bring you to 84 months.

Surely you have been given some explanation as to why the IVA is still running.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014

I would write asking for a full explanation of the circumstances, pointing out that equity was dealt with as per the agreed terms -- they cannot ask for it to be done again. If that doesn't produce results make a formal complaint and then complain to their regulatory body if still no joy.

You should get a full explanation -- no excuses.

Hi Adrian.10

We were in a similar situation ourselves.
We were transferred to GT from RSM Tenon after originally starting our IVA with Unity back in 2006.

We forwarded a copy of our documentation to GT stating that we could not remortgage (why they had not received this information with the rest of of file during transfer is beyond me).

Our original contract stated that the arrangement should not exceed 72 months, we were in month 76 when GT finally got round to sorting things out and at that stage put forward a full and final.

Because of the numerous transfers and lack of communication our IVA completion was delayed through no fault of our own and we finally received our certificate September 2013.

If you have not had any variation agreed to your original contract to account for the time delay you could argue that they themselves are in breach and not you (as it was with ourselves).

If you have the letter stating that you cannot remortgage, forward it and put in a complaint at the same time...this is totally unacceptable!
