PPI just AWARDED but got default but over six years old

Options
And the debts were statue barred now.

Can they use my PPI awarded money against these old debts?

Thanks all.

I'm no longer with the said RBS bank.

    They certainly can.
    Statute barred doesnt mean they are written off.
    They are still owed, it just means you cant actually be taken to court
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I will say I was never chased for the money as I lived overseas so couldn't make contact with me. Likely this was written off on internal systems?

    For the purposes of a PPI complaint, any such outstanding debt can and will be offset against any redress awarded.

    So I gain nothing then?

    Any point me accepting this offer now?

    Seeing as the debt is statue barried as well and can't chase me for it now?

    What I will say is the offer letter makes NO reference to any debts I owed.

    Only when you accept the redress will your complaint go to the Bank's Insolvency Team for checking.

    I think this thread has already run it's course,,,

    Why not accept? They may miss your old debts. Hard to see what you've got to lose.
