I have received an offer from a Bank on my PPI Claim which I wish to accept. However I am subject to a Protected Trust Deed and the Bank have said the settlement amount will be paid towards amounts owed to them. I had thought it would be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of all creditors. Can the bank do this?
Hi Carlyt and welcome to the trust deed forum.
I can understand why the bank would want to do this. Whether or not your Trustee will consider that to be reasonable is a different matter.
My suggestion would be to contact your trust deed provider with the details in order that they can take any action they believe is necessary.
Are the debts outstanding and the PPI linked? I wouldn't have thought that a bank would payout £1000 for example, if it was still owed £5000 on the same loan. I was always under the impression that if a bank has your money and you owe them money, then if they want it they'll take it. I had a friend who had some money paid into his old account by accident electronically and he never saw it again.
