    Anyway OP, I think the only way around this is to give your bank manager very clear instructions on how your savings are handled in the future and hopefully they'll be able to comply. In this case they probably thought they were doing you a favour by avoiding a bank charge.

    And the bank manager will reply that he has no authority to take such an instruction as the terms and conditions specifically state Barclays can use right of set off.

    My Barclays business manager has moved money from my savings account to my current account to pay a direct debit to HMRC without permission from myself is he allowed to do this? some advice would be much appreciated.

    Depends if you would have prefered the HMRC bill was paid or not
