Hi,

Does anyone know where I stand with this situation...

As part of my trust deed, one of my creditors was the bank that I have my current account with. My trustee has agreed that I can keep a small amount of money in an ISA for emergency situations. Are the bank allowed to with hold the money that would be in my ISA as they were a creditor?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Trixie1980.

Personally, I'd put any emergency savings in an account with a bank that isn't connected to my creditors.

Me too - just in case the bank did try to set off the funds against their debt. They shouldn't do so, but why tempt fate?

Hi Trixie1980,

I always advise my clients to stay away from a bank which they have had debt with in the past.

No point risking any problems further down the line with your emergency money.
