Debt after husband's death: advice please
Comments

This would also apply to putting the electricity etc into your name too. Two completely separate accounts, the one in your late husbands name is not your responsibility.
I would be inclined not to let any of your money go into any account with Santander - just in case!0 -
Thank you all for your replies. That has put my mind at rest somewhat.
And thank you CRANKY40 for your advice. I have heard about WAY recently and was thinking of joining. I could do with the support. I wish you all the best.0 -
T. When I closed my husband's bank account, Santander told me they would be asking me to repay that £12,000 loan. They said they could see he'd been paying life insurance (via direct debit) and "that could pay for part of the loan." .
This is awful - someone (not you) needs to give them feedback on how not to deal with recently bereaved people, particularly when it is incorrect advice0
