Can They Take My Goodwill Gesture!

trying to claim back my bank charges. Thankfully last week Ulster bank offered me a goodwill gesture of £1304, the problem is my account with them is frozen and i have a new account else were. I owe money to Ulster bank but have set up a d/d to pay this back, but after talking to them i am told any money they pay me back will just come of what i owe. When i went into finicial difficulty last september the C C C S told to pay priority bills first, so can Ulster bank do this on me? i have more pressing bills to worry about.
Any help on this would be gratefully received.

    Yes they can, its a "goodwill gesture" so it's down to them how much it is & how they pay it to you.
