You cannot put secured debt into a trust deed so to apply for a Protected Trust Deed you’re debt would have to be non secured and approximately £8,000 or more, and you must be able to repay at least £150 a month. New laws mean you’re house will not be sold to realize the debt however items of a particular value or you’re car could be seized.

Scottish Trust Deed
Ask around who has heard of a Scottish Trust Deed most people you speak to will never have heard of it. A lot of people think Trust Deeds or a Deed of trust is to do with financial investment, that is true at a certain level, but the meaning of a Scottish Trust Deed is help for people residing in Scotland who have more debt than they are able to repay. Debt has become a worldwide problem and more and more people are unable to make their monthly repayments.
Scottish Trust Deed
Basically it is a legally binding agreement between you and the creditors to pay back what you can reasonably afford over a certain period of time, this normally last for 3 years, debt left over after this time is written off. It is similar to an IVA which is used in England, Wales and Northern Ireland though the criteria are slightly different, though the good news is that it is better for the individual. A Trust Deed must go through a qualified insolvency practitioner and they arrange meetings with creditors and will do all negotiating on your behalf they will also distribute payment to your creditors as will be agreed. They will become known as the ‘Trustee’.
Who qualifies for one?
To be eligible for a Scottish Trust Deed you must owe at least £10,000, you must be able to repay approx £150 a month towards your debt. And you must reside in Scotland.
What length of time does it last for?
A Trust Deed usually lasts for 3 years. After this time any remaining debt will be written off by the creditors.
They don’t suit everyone.....
You have taken the first step to find out about one, but remember Scottish Trust Deeds are not suitable for everyone. They are meant for people having difficulty repaying their debts and who can find no other solution to repaying their debt. If you had taken out to much debt, had your hours cut or lost your job, they are all viable reasons to look into a debt solution. A Scottish Trust Deed can also protect your house or car from repossession from the bank.
Also one of the other benefits is you interest and charges will be frozen, this means the debt will not go up like for most it will be at the moment meaning more what you pays goes on bank charges rather to the actual debt.
What’s the catch
Like everything it’s not all good. You credit rating will be affected for approximately 6 years however for many they no longer want to bring out credit, and they don’t ever want to get into that position again! So, the last thing on your mind will be bringing out more credit. You will feel your reputation is ruined although this does not bother everyone. The feeling of being debt free can outweigh any of these downsides by a miles!
