Hi inahole

Looking at the figures, I think you need to look at something formal. Either DAS or Trust Deed. I think DMP or DAS for your hubby.

Is there any way we can do a joint trust deed? Although the debt is in my name we chass it as joint debt? I've read from forus a trust deed is 3 years but I couldn't possibly pay 30k over 3 years? How does this work? Sorry I'm clueless!

Hi inahole

sorry you can't do joint trust deeds. It's not impossible to do 2, I just think hubbys debts are a wee bit low. But it's still possible.

You don't have to pay the full debt in a Trust Deed. Creditors will allow for a large part of the debt to be written off.

Yes I think with the amount of his debt we could do the trust deed for me and aim to pat his off asap. How much roughly do u think I would pay each month with trust deed? And would they take bonus into account. Thanks again.

Hi inahole

it's difficult to say as you would need to sit down and do an income & expenditure statement to work out a surplus.

Is that not what the above is? Or do you mean with things like council tax etc included?

Your contributions are worked out by taking your income and subtracting all of your reasonable living costs (not the debt payments) and seeing what is left. As your finances are joint with your husband, it would only be part of your spare income that you would be expected to contribute, with the remainder to be used by your husband to pay towards his debts.
