A Trust Deed (or Protected Trust Deed) is a government backed scheme drawn up between you and your creditors in which you agree to pay your creditors a percentage of your total debts, depending on what you can afford.
A large amount of your debts could be legally written off. It is very similar to the IVA which is available in England, Wales and N. Ireland except the Trust Deed usually lasts 3 years, not 5 years.
