I know that I was just glad to get rid of the hassle from creditors when I agreed to my IVA, not knowing how much of an impact it could really have later on. Anyone that has not been to this site could well be encouraged to go down this route and therefore default on their IVA. They also want to charge £1000 for bankruptcy and if people do this themselves, it's less than half that cost.
From a legal banter, I think the question is who owns the information on the IVA details in the Insolvency Register, and if the information is 'free for professonal or business use' for the public or organisations.
I don't think the IVA council is to be blamed in so far the law doesn't say they cannot use the infomation to solicitate clients.
I believe the Insolvency service needs to be given a rebuff as it is their policy of data management that needs to be reviewed.
If it is of public record to know who is on an IVA? and that infomation is used for purposes unintended then something needs to be done! These quango government departments needs to get their act together. Why the public needs to know who is on a IVA I never know?
