dmp and ppi refunded

Some advice please

After 18 months my claim for ppi on a credit card with Lloyds is now going to be settled. The card is clear, however, I have a loan with Lloyds and this month I have just started a dmp (only missed this months payment on my loan,

As I have waited 18 months for this payment and it was for a credit card and not a loan can I ask for the money to be paid to me so I can pay off some of my smaller debts or will lloyds take it to pay off their loan.

As I say the credit card was paid off in 2008 so there is no debt there.

    wont this bring lloyds upto date? making it easier on yourself if so I would let them. They may offset it, which not much can be done about if they did.
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • If they take off the arrears that I owe Lloyds, no problem just didnt want them to take it all off as I was hoping to pay off the smaller debts

    I think you'll find that Lloyds will use the lot towards their debt.
    Debt 30k in 2008.:eek::o Cleared all my debt in 2013 and loving being debt free :)
