Trust Deeds
A Trust Deed is only offered to Scottish residents and is similar to an IVA (Individual Voluntary Arrangement).
It is a legally governed procedure for those with serious debt problems who struggle to repay their borrowings. With a Trust Deed, you pay back a proportion of your debt over a specific amount of time, the monthly amount is dependant on the individual case. All remaining debt at the end of the repayment period is written off.

Please Note: A Trust Deed is only available to residents in Scotland. The remainder of the UK is serviced by IVAs.
Entering into an IVA may adversely affect your
credit rating for up to six years from the date of approval.
Your property will be protected within an
IVA but you may be required to release all or part of any equity during the
period of the arrangement.
Failure to complete the term of an IVA can
result in bankruptcy.
(In Scotland, a PTD is the equivalent to an IVA.)
