Hi sezzie.

There's no black and white answer we can give you here I'm afraid.

Much will depend upon the precise circumstances of a case and how the trustee interprets them.

Something that's likely to be beneficial is to keep the trustee fully advised at as early a stage as possible.

First thing I would say is try not to worry too much. There will be reasons why you can't pay, and these will be taken into consideration but please tell your trustee as soon as possible.

Why is it that you cannot make the payments any longer, sezzie? Can you afford a lower amount instead?

Yep always keep your trustee (contact person) informed.. I finished paying my trust deed last year Yipeeeeeeeeee.. But had to have quite a few payment breaks over the time of my trust deed.. I however ALWAYS informed the company why I needed to take another payment break and okayed it with them before doing so and was always reminded it would be added on to the end of my deed which meant my trust deed went on longer than the 3 years intended..

Hi sezzie,

Sorry to hear that your struggling with things. As others have said communication is key with your Trustee.

If there are genuine reasons that you are struggling with things then another payment break could be granted.

speak to your Trustee about things and let us know how you get on.
