                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Yea that's not what I'd hoped for.  As I said above I have a personal loan which I'll be looking to pay off to my gran with any left over money I have, my friend acted as guarantor on the loan so I can't put him in a mess with it.  So it looks like I'll still have a lot of payments to make even with a TD.  Wouldn't want to fall into trouble while on it.  Depressing, maybe it is not the best option for me]]></content:encoded>

	As Kevin says, you can pay your Gran from the money you are lrft with for 'extras', but is not going to be as much as you are currently paying her. If she can reduce your payments, then once your Trust Deed is finished you will be able to increase the amount you pay to her as you will have no other debts. Hopefully it will not increase the term of her loan by too much.]]></content:encoded>

	How much debt is left to your gran?  Do you think your gran may be able to let you reduce your payments at least?  If so then it may be that you could still manage to pay her out of the allowance you are permitted for your living costs.  £265pm would seem a lot to find though.]]></content:encoded>

	One thing, I am also paying off a personal loan from my Gran at £265 a month, I will still need to pay her this as she uses it for living costs.  Would a trust deed allow me to include that as part of my expenditure?  Ideally I'd like to pay £200-£300 towards the trust deed]]></content:encoded>

	I would agree with TDA & Mark that no upfront fees should be paid. A Trust Deed can be financed through contribution only without any problem. As said, depending on your income, a Trust Deed pay be for you, but there may be other options depending on the level of your disposable income. All options available should be covered by the company you approach. Then you decide which is the best route for you.]]></content:encoded>

	In addition to the points made by SkintAlly and Mark I wonder if you could give us a little extra information?
	
	How much do you think you could afford to pay towards your debts (via a trust deed or another option) each month?
	
	This is worked out by deducting your essential expenditure (include everything including provision for things you buy occasionally like clothes) from your income (but excluding your debt repayments).
	
	That will guide to us being able to confirm whether a trust deed is going to be available to you and also, more importantly, whether there are other options that might work better for you given your current circumstances.]]></content:encoded>
