Hi Kez13 and welcome.

The five weeks start from the point that your trust deed is advertised in the Edinburgh Gazette by the firm concerned.

A quick call to them should enable you to confirm when this will happen. There's no reason normally for it to take long.

Thanks for the quick reply!! I'll give them a quick phone call 🙂

Hi Kez13

I signed my TD with RSM Tenon on the 25 Aug and it was in the Edinburgh Gazette on the 9 Sept. The five weeks wait seemed to take forever but you've done the hard part, there's nothing you can do now but wait. Keep yourself busy and try not to worry you'll be protected soon I'm sure.

Thanks AlphaB! Your right, I need to try and not think about it - The person we dealt with at RSM Tenon was very helpful and she did say they deal with these companies day in day out so they know what criteria they are looking for and wouldnt knowingly submit a trust deed knowling it was likely to be rejected - i just need to focus on that!
Im dreading the next part of being hassled by my creditors...Im a natural worrier!! [:I]

Don't worry about the creditors Kez13.
