What does your IVA provider do when your IVA ends?

Your insolvency practitioner checks the final payments and closes the IVA. Once it's closed, you should receive a completion certificate.

Your creditors are told that the IVA has ended, so the accounts in it can be updated on your file.

What should you receive when your IVA ends?

Keep everything your provider sends at the end of your IVA.

  • A completion certificate: your proof the IVA has finished.
  • Usually a final statement: what was paid in and out of your IVA.
  • Any letters to your creditors: useful if an account isn't updated.

What if your IVA provider is slow to close your IVA?

Contact them and ask when the IVA will be closed and the certificate issued. If you're unhappy with how it's handled, your provider has a complaints process.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need my IVA completion certificate?

Yes, keep it. It's your proof the IVA has finished, and it helps if anything on your credit file needs correcting.

Will my IVA provider update my credit file?

Your creditors update the accounts on your file. If anything still shows as open once your IVA has ended, you can ask the credit reference agency to correct it.

What if my IVA is now handled by a different firm?

Your IVA letters and your Individual Insolvency Register entry name your supervisor and their firm. The guide for your provider explains who to contact.
