Finished your IVA with Lawson Fox? Here's what's next.

Getting your Lawson Fox completion certificate

Lawson Fox's IVA page says that once you have fulfilled your obligations you are free from the debts included, and that successful completion of an IVA is also noted on the government's insolvency website. Once your final payment has gone, call 01204 804 000 or write to Falcon Mill asking for written confirmation.

Make the request in writing and keep a copy, then check the Individual Insolvency Register under your own name.

Checking your credit file and the register

Once your Lawson Fox IVA has finished, check your credit file. Experian, Equifax and TransUnion must each give you your statutory credit report free of charge.

Look for the IVA recorded as completed and the accounts included in it updated to show it has ended. If anything is wrong, tell the agency: it must investigate and correct anything wrong, and your completion certificate is your evidence.

Search your name on the Individual Insolvency Register too. An IVA stays on your credit file for six years from the date it started, or until it ends if that is later.

Our guide, When does an IVA leave your credit file?, explains the date.

What's next: your Comeback Plan

With your IVA finished, the next step is your AfterMy Comeback Plan. Tell us the solution you finished, your key dates and your goals. It isn't an application, and the plan itself won't affect your credit score. AfterMy is not part of Lawson Fox: we're a credit broker, not a lender.

Your Comeback Plan maps your dates and shows options from our panel you may be able to apply for.
