Getting IVA removed from credit file

[emptypockets]

Hi everyone,
I started my iva on 13/02/2012 and was paid off early with with F+F settlement in 2015. As it's been 6 years since the start, does it just "fall off" of my credit report or do I have to arrange to have it taken off?

The IVA itself, providing it has been correctly completed and removed from the Insolvency Register, will drop off itself at the 6 year mark. However the resultimg defaults will drop off 6 years after they were registered -- this should be around the start date of the IVA -- but isn't always and needs to be checked. Have a read here:

Thanks Foggy. Does it automatically come off the register? I have completion cert, or do I need to notify them?

Thanks again

From your dates it should have fallen off yesterday - best to check all 3 reports individually though just to make sure. Things like Checkmyfile aren't very good as they only have access to limited information.

Thanks Ryan.

I'm on Noddle and Clearscore and it's still showing. Maybe I'll wait a bit

Check the Register -- Just to make sure --- it should have gone already. Here is their search page https://www.insolvencydirect.bis.gov.uk/eiir/

Noddle and Clearscore can be up to two months behind what is actually showing on your statutory credit reports.
