1. Equity - you say in wife's name only, I are you both subject to IVA ? If your wife is not and you are not property opener IVA firm has no claim over your wife's equity in property.
2. If property is in both your names claim to equity is only on your share, if using the method described in your agreement this is less than £5k per head (if agreement says this) then there would be no equity claim.
3. If you have had payment reductions throughout the term and these added on the end it may have extended the term of the IVA.
I would write to them asking how they have concluded an extension is due with a worked example see the extension template letter in my. Blog re 12 month extension. Might be worth you getting a valuation on your property,. If you have your completion certificate already just ignore them, in my humble opinion as your obligations are complete under the IVA..
My Blog details, the route I took before IVA, how I choose my firm, equity release advice (year 4-5), challenging the CRA's keeping IVA on credit file once gone from insolvency register
IVA ended August 2015. Would recommend McCambridge Duffy
that's concerning,, what is the legal timescale on an iva. have received our completion certificates ,, is it possible they can come back to us for more payments or does having the CC mean I am legally free of the IVA, could someone please clarify thanks
If you have your completion letter then they cannot come back at you for more payments - they can still chase PPI.
We don't know if the OP had their completion paperwork or not.

If you have your CC your IVA is complete. The only asset the IP can potentially still retain/pursue is any PPI compensation payment, however this is currently dependent on the outcome of an appeal going through the Courts. No idea why your IP is writing to you about an extension when they have already completed your IVA. Something is wrong. Write to them and remind them that your IVA was closed on xyz and they must therefore have written to you in error.
