Shelter Scotland and GHA Launch Initiative Aimed at Preventing Eviction Over Rent Arrears   by Trust Deed Scotland

Trust Deed Scotland can report that Shelter Scotland and Glasgow Housing Association have launched a joint initiative to prevent eviction over rent arrears.

The pilot project which is run by Glasgow Housing Association and facilitated by Shelter Scotland, is initially open to 2,850 GHA tenants in the Pollok area of Glasgow. If successfully, it is hoped that the project could be rolled out to other areas of the city.

Shelter Scotland has reported that 30 households who were at risk of eviction have already been advised on how to repay their rent arrears and keep their homes.

Graeme Brown, the Director of Shelter Scotland was quoted as saying “Eviction should be a last resort, and the launch of this project ensures that GHA tenants are offered the right advice for their individual circumstances, giving them every opportunity to repay arrears, avoid eviction and stay on top of their rent.”

Trust Deed Scotland, a leading introducer of Scottish Trust Deeds and provider of debt advice to thousands of Scottish residents have previously reported on how issues such as fuel poverty are affecting the lives of thousands of individuals and more crucially, the Scottish based company have given advice to people in financial difficulties about the dangers of debt and more frequently, Trust Deed Scotland have been helping Scots to identity priority debts.

A spokesman for Trust Deed Scotland advised “We are pleased to see that Shelter Scotland is running this initiative with the assistance of Glasgow Housing Association.

One of the biggest fear factors for people with debt problems is the fear of losing a home through repossession or in this case, eviction.

Educating people on how to deal with their debts effectively is as great a preventive measure as any other.

Trust Deed Scotland sincerely hopes that the pilot scheme is a great success and can be rolled-out to a greater area and ultimately to the greater good of Scottish families experiencing financial difficulties.”

If you live in Scotland and you are struggling with debt, the most important thing to do is try and resolve the debt as early as possible and ensure that priority debts are treated with the highest importance. Priority debts are rent and mortgage and utilities bills such as Gas, Electric and Council Tax.

If you are struggling to repay any unsecured debts such as Credit Cards, Loans, Store Cards or Bank Overdrafts and you want to regain control of your finances – there are options open to you in Scotland to resolve personal debts.

Trust Deeds, Sequestration and Debt Arrangement Schemes have helped thousands of Scots manage their debts but your suitability for each solution varies depending on your own personal circumstances. To identify which solution is most appropriate for you, you should speak to a money advisor who will analyse your situation and help you to decide which option is best for YOU.
