I make my last payment to my PTD in November and equity has been agreed upfront as to what I'll pay over. I'm confident I'll get this from a 3rd party, however is there a period as to when this should be paid? I'm keen to get discharged ASAP (pending any PPI..grrrr) but wanted to know of anyone else's experience, thoughts. before I contact my Trustee.

Given that many people pay off equity by extending their trust deeds by a couple of years, then I would imagine that there should be a fair bit of leeway to give you time to get your third party organised - especially if you are still making payments to reduce the equity figure in the meantime.

Hi leeper1974

We also look at 2 years as a reasonable time period.

Thanks everyone for replying. So basically, my last committed DD is in November then it's up to me to agree a timetable/installments (from 3rd parties of course ;-)) to pay off the equity?

Hi leeper1974.

That's right, it's something for you and your trustee to agree.

There's no need to wait to make an arrangement though.

Thanks, at this stage I'm just working out how much I need to borrow and how much I can put away to decrease the amount too.
