IVA and demand to use "Tax Checker"

[5bellies]

Hi
I have been in an IVA since 2012. At the outset the creditors wanted 6 years. In year 5.5 I did the equity release paperwork and was unable to raise any funds that way. I am now in year 6 month 8 (Only 4 months payments left)
I have received an email from taxrebates.com telling me I have until the 14th May to respond to a review for my tax code.
(your iva practitioner has liaised with us yada yada yada) and a very formal note:

IMPORTANT: It is very important you start this review NOW.

Simple question has any one come across this before, and am I obligated to do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi,
The taxrebate thing is where they check your income tax etc.. and I am assuming any rebate is given to the IVA. To be honest my tax code has gone down, because my employer has miss calculated and HMRC reckon I owe them £1800 - so I am doubtful there is any rebate due. 

It was more the principal of it, and whether anyone else had had the same request. and can they  demand I do this.

Cheers

ambulance chasers. Ignore them. 

Ask the IVA why they have passed on your details without express permission as it isnt market research but selling.

Complain to the govt dept responsible for thier behaviour when you dont get a sensible response
