Types of Insolvency

In Scottish law, there are two types of insolvency. These are:

  • Sequestration.
    This is if you can’t pay back your debts within a realistic timeframe. It allows you to write off debts, but you may need to sell valuable assets to cover some of the debt.
  • Protected Trust Deed Under Bankruptcy.
    This is a repayment scheme that lasts 4 years or over and one pays back as much as they can in monthly instalments.
