Take the 20 second debt test

Establishing if a Trust Deed is the Right Solution for you

A trust deed is a legally binding agreement that is initiated between the individual in debt and their creditors and represents an accord between the two parties to repay outstanding unsecured debts, such as credit card debt. A trust deed will usually take a minimum of three years to complete but, once it has been completed, the individual in question will have avoided the negative implications of factors such as bankruptcy and will be able to plan for a future free from their financial arrears. However, as with all financial decisions, it is important to carefully consider the circumstances in which you find yourself in and decide whether or not a trust deed is the best means by which to extricate yourself from your debts. Many residents of Scotland, where the use of trust deeds is prevalent, have found that they really do give them a chance to clear their debts by creating a structured repayment plan and, in some cases, drastically reducing the amount that has to be repaid. In order to best establish whether a trust deed is right for you, it is advisable to speak to debt management professionals.

Trust Deed – When a Trust Deed May Not be Right for you

Obviously, a trust deed is a valuable tool for overcoming debts, predominantly in Scotland, but it isn't the right solution for every situation. For example, a trust deed wouldn't be appropriate if you only have a small amount of unsecured debt. Generally speaking, an individual should only consider a trust deed if they have considerable debts, typically in excess of £10,000.
