Hi,

 

You need to search for "right of appropriation"

 

There is a letter you can send to your bank (you need to give them 7 days)

 

Here is the letter

[bank name & address]

 

 

 

 

[date]

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIGHT OF APPROPRIATION

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxx

 

I am writing to inform you that I am due to have a Tax Credit payment of £xxx paid into my account on xx/xx/xx, and I wish to use my first right of appropriation for this money, for the following purposes;

 

Rent £xx

Utilities bills £xx

Housekeeping money £xx

 

I will withdraw the money on the day that it is deposited for the above use, and I would be grateful if you would ensure that any other payments out of my account do not interfere with this withdrawal.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

[signature]

 

 

[print name]

No problem :) It is disgusting that banks think they can take somebodies benefits away from them just to pay their charges!!!

I found a useful link about the right of appropriation that might also help. I'm trying to find out exactly waht payments it applies to (basically whether I can use it for my salary). Haven't found out yet but it does say in the link below a bank is unlikely to want to honour it for more than a short while and would probably close the account after a while.

Do you know this site is brilliant, and I am still finding out things I wish I'd known about earlier!

This right of appropiation would have been just what I was looking for, when Abbey was stopping my entire FTC, every week to pay off my charges. We struggled to keep a roof over our heads, as week after week we fell behind with the rent payments, just so that we could eat!

I now nearly have all my charges back (still waiting for the cheque), but knowing these things are priceless.

I sent off a letter to the Northern last week,exercising my right of appropriation of state benefits paid into our account,requesting transfer into another account so that household bills can be met,due to the fact that they are being eaten up by charges and paying off an overdaft which consists entirely of unlawful charges.

 

Branch manager has written back.He wants 2 signatures(my wife as well as myself) for an account which authorises transactions with 1 signature....

 

Also,when this is done,he will "give consideration" to my request.Since when did a bank manager have the authority to "give consideration" to my rights?????
