Lump sum pension coming

Options
Hi,

I am very slowly paying off a debt to Barclaycard and I'm due for a lump sum Barclays pension pay out soon. I wondered if Barclaycard have the right to take the amount owed direct from my pension? I would be grateful for any advice. Many thanks in advance.

    Usually I would say it would depend on whether it was paid into a bank which was linked to Barclaycard but if the pensions from Barclays could they take if straight off this?

    I wouldn't have thought so, as the are such separate arms of the bank. I wouldn't have thought they share the same database, or even if they do, would cross reference.

    What does everyone else think?

    Barclaycard have been known to offset a Barclays account as they are linked organisations (ETA both part of Barclays plc) which is what I was concerned about when I posted before
