Hi my trust deed was due to finish in December. I took 1 payment break to buy a cooker & last year I was on furlough for 3 months so paid £126 a month instead of my usual £210. Will the reduced payments be added on at the end & can I pay them so my trust deed still ends in December.

Morning Samara

You should run this past your Trustee to ascertain how they will treat this issue. Technically, you are required to pay a minimum of 48 monthly payments. Your level of contribution is based on affordability and it is therefore competent that your Trust Deed should end without the need to recover the balance of payments.

Hope this helps.

I think it is likely that the 1-month payment break will require to be added on at the end, but hopefully not the amounts reduced due to furlough. It is really up to your Trustee though, so you will need to ask your case manager.
