Will change your life for the better
I left a very positive review when I started my trust deed
In the years that followed my experience only got better
My annual updates were easy to manage , the communication I had with the company was professional but friendly and the questions I had were answered and dealt with very efficiently and always with respect
For anyone thinking about using this company I cannot recommend enough
I found it a cery difficult call to make , but I am so glad I chose this company it has completely turned my life around

Hi James,
Thank you for your review.
All creditors are advised of the expected amount they will be paid from a Protected Trust Deed at the start of every case. Creditors will accept or object to a proposal for a Protected Trust Deed, based on the amount they are expected to be paid.
Creditors will also consider other matters when reviewing a proposal for a Protected Trust Deed, such as the level of the Trustee’s fees and expenses, their customer’s affordability, and their customer’s borrowing and payment history.
In general, the minimum expected return for creditors from a Protected Trust Deed is 10p in the £ and, based on the Government’s most recent statistics, the average payment to creditors from all closed Protected Trust Deeds in 2024/25 was 16.3p in the £.
Therefore, a payment of 14p in the £ is lower than average but above the normal minimum requirement.
If you would like further information about the payments made to your creditors, please email customerservice@harpermcdermott.com and we will respond to your query.
Kind regards
Harper McDermott

Shocking and unprofessional behaviour…
Shocking and unprofessional behaviour today on the telephone with this company. When asked for this person's name, a number of times, she refused, then HUNG UP THE PHONE? Absolutely appalling. We couldn't believe it! It beggars belief. You ask for a case number?! Yet when this is given it is not sufficient.
Furthermore a reply sent via email on 21/10/25 to Thomas Fox at Harper McDermot, to this date no response has been given.
Further to your reply your client does live in Scotland. This is a bankruptcy case that you got in touch with the landlord who does live in London. Would you please resend the form to fill out again and I can give you the name and reference number.

Life changing
The team at Harper McDermott have been nothing short of fantastic throughout my entire trust deed period. Which I finally paid off today! Their guidance and tips kept me on the right path throughout. Now I'm out the other side ready to rebuild my life again. Thank you for helping me when I thought I was beyond it.

Superb handling
Well, where to start.
My journey within the protected trust deed was not smooth sailing, all down to my side of the relationship, Harper McDermott not only stepped in upon my request, but actively handled situations in all I can say to be an exemplary way, my mental health plummeted through unknowns, they helped in a very empathetic manner. Ashleigh and Sean, I owe no money now, but to you both I owe gratitude.
They are a business looking after monies due to creditors, looking after the debtors so that this can be fulfilled is something they do, excellently. If you're thinking of applying for a trust deed with Harper McDermott, they will look after you.

I've recently just signed with Harper McDermott and couldn't be happier
I've recently just signed with Harper McDermott through the Trust deed scheme.
From start to finish they made the whole experience so easy.
Since signing I've had to make a couple of enquiries and each time the advisors I have dealt with have been able to deal with the issues straight away with no issues.
Couldn't ask for any better service
