What happens if various payrises through promotion in work mean I end up paying more than I owe?
Over the last 9 months I've had 3 pay rises, and as the extra money is getting taken for the deed it means I will be paying back several thousand more than I actually owe over the next 2 and a half years.

Is this right, or does the deed end early, or what?

Welcome to the trust deed forum basicinfo.

The most that you will have to pay into your trust deed will be:

1- the total you owed at the start.
2- interest on the debt (8% I believe).
3- the fees and outlays of your trust deed provider.

If that total were reached the trust deed would conclude and your creditors would be fully repaid.

At that point you will of course start to benefit from the pay increases that you have earned.

One minor correction here is that the rate of interest is either the contractual rate on the debt or 8%, whichever is greater - ie it could be higher than 8%
