| Hi Can anyone clarify for me if I will lose my house if I go into a trust deed? I am on carers allowance, and yes, there is equity in the flat, but I cannot release it, as I am on carers allowance. I am paying into a debt management plan at present, but, this will take years to pay off. I need to get rid of tis debt now. |

Hi ging
Could you estimate the equity in the house and also advise what the total debt is.

Hi Mark
I think the equity is around, anything between 25,000- 35,000, and the debt is 76,000 !

Hi ging
If you were to look at a trust deed then the equity would be taken into account.
Unfortunately there is no real workable solution in your circumstances which would not impact on the property.
Is the property jointly owned? Do you have anyone else who could assist with payments? Also, how much are you paying to the debt management plan.

Hi Mark
By impact on the property do you mean I would have to sell the property,as that would be the only way to release the money out of the flat? The property is solely owned by me, and I am paying £100 per month to the plan. I do not mind releasing the equity,if there is a way? as long as I get to keep the flat. As for someone else to help with payments? in what respect? to repay the trust deed? that is a possibility.
regards

Releasing equity through a remortgage nowadays is very hard to achieve. Take advice from experts but if you are sitting on significant sums then creditors will rightly expect a share of it.

It is very difficult to release equity without selling these days unfortunately. I'm afraid you may find it difficult to avoid selling unless you can find someone who is willing to help you out in a big way.
If you can't find any way of doing it then at least it might be possible to go through the mortgage to rent scheme so that you could continue to stay in the property as a tenant after it is sold. This can be done in conjunction with a trust deed so that all equity is released and can go to creditors. |
