Rebuilding your credit score takes time

Coming to the end of an IVA is a big deal. You’ve spent years working towards this point, and now you can hopefully start thinking less about the debt you’re leaving behind and more about what you want your money to help you do next.

When it comes to your credit score, it’s common to expect everything to change the moment your IVA ends. In reality, your credit history, and therefore your credit score, will  update over time. This can be over several months or even years.
