Can RBS use a completed Lombard Loan, PPI refund to"set off" against a Nat West account that was part of a completed IVA. The Lombard loan was years before the IVA.

    The can only set off against the same debt. So, only if that particular debt was in arrears, defaulted or had amounts written off as part of an agreed settlement could they set off the redress. They cannot set off against a different debt within the same group. As taff says... no.

    Only if the PPI is linked to the debt in question or was part of a chain of debt (loan repaid by new loan repaid by new loan etc).

    If it is part of the same group but a different debt totally then they cant use set off.
