What the petition asks
IVA or Individual Voluntary Arrangement is a 5 year alternative to bankruptcy.
IVA completion certificates should be issued within 30 days of an IVA completing. Many certificates are taking months to issue despite repeated chasing. These delays are stressful and put peoples lives on hold.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government and Parliament aren’t responsible for issuing IVA completion certificates.
The Government would be able to issue legal guidance to the Insolvency Service, saying that IVA certificates should be issued promptly.
You could start a new petition asking the Government to issue this guidance, if that’s what you would like to happen
