Why have you not recieved your completion certificate?
Who is your IVA with?

Without a completion certificate your name will remain on the insolvency register and may remain on your credit file.

Have a look at your credit files to see what's on there.

Even if your credit file looks clear, the fact that your name is still on the insolvancy register will affect your ability to get credit.

It is so unfair that after serving your sentance, that your financial life is still on hold while you wait for that completion certificate.

The "norm" should be no more than 6 months and often less than that. Unfortunatly there are a lot of larger firms who have not got their act together at the moment.

All I can suggest is you contact them weekly is not daily for an update .

What reasons have they given for the delay in your case being completed? I note that you seem to e having difficulties in reaching anyone - have you tried e-mailing your IP directly?

The only way to solve this is to continually ring your IP ....I appreciate phone lines are busy but persevere and don't take no for an answer. Like Mel says email your IP direct rather than a generic email address.

There is a solution for everyone .... Just need to stay positive !
