Right to offset....?

Hi All.

Currently on a CCCS DMP, been on it for 12mnths now.

Basic acc with Abbey.

Creditors:

A&L ????
HSBC (metropolitan) x2
Mint (RBS)
AA (Blair Oliver Scott) x2

My question is, i tried to change my address details with A&L. they say its been passed on, wont say who too? but i was speaking to an Abbey Representative?

As A&L has been passed to Santander/Abbey i presume, can they get money out of my Abbey basic account.

Should i switch accounts to be safe?

Thanks all

    Well ive rang A&L again, put me straight through to Abbey.

    Told me to go into an abbey branch to change addy details.

    Looks like ill be changing my Abbey account asap
  • Abbey and A&L have separate banking licences, so you're safe now. However, I would move the account now, before the two are fully merged. Less hassle in the long run.
