This company had taken over our IVA from a previous one, roughly around 18 months prior to our IVA finishing, initially it was a positive start, however when our IVA finished (8 months ago) the lack of communication started, we had to chase for confirmation that it had all finished, to which we got a reply 7-10 working days later, (as per their automated email reply), confirming it was completed, and would go to completion stage, which could take up to 6 months but they aim to have this done earlier, then again zero communication.
We then had to chase for updates again after the 6 month period passed, as yet again, no communication, only to be told they were experiencing a "technical issue" which was holding the process up but should all be done in "a few weeks".
We left it 4 weeks then yet again had to chase for further updates, only to be told that their issue had now been rectified, however there is now a back log, and they will aim to have it sorted in "a few weeks", so once again we're waiting, we have asked for an actual date, but again, as per their automated email reply, we will have to wait another 7-10 days for any kind of reply, not great customer service to say the least!

I had my IVA with another company and it was all going well. Unfortunately Bennett Jones took over this company and since then I have had problems. My IVA ended 8 months ago, yet I am still waiting for it to be completed. I have emailed and they have failed to reply which has now left me uncertain as to what’s going on and how to get it resolved. They are not backed by the financial ombudsman as I contacted them for help but they weren’t able to. I am now stuck and can’t move forward with my life.

At the beginning of mine and my…

At the beginning of mine and my husbands IVA everything seemed perfect, as some would say too good to be true which has turned out to be the case, we was given our payment plan for the 5 years which we agreed to. Shortly after the IVA started a certain debt wasn’t cancelled and they continued to take the payment from my universal credit to which I made Bennett jones aware off and they agreed a payment break which I have an email of stating that the payment breaks would be added to the end of the Iva upon completion as AREARS!! To now be told after 5 years in and only one more month left of payments that no they haven’t been added as arrears and they have extended my Iva by a further whole year of higher payments that i cannot afford and they simple don’t care, I had a job offer to start work next month which I have now have to decline because I will not be able to afford childcare for my son as well as pay higher amounts for another year to Bennet jones. I have a written email stating that the payment breaks would be added as arrears and not as an extension to my Iva which should be finished as of next month. AVOID THIS COMPANY
