NatWest DMP
PM22
Posts: 237 Forumite
I have set up a DMP with PayPlan.
Meanwhile, NatWest have decided to pull my overdraft - a measly £250
They are sending me letters, text and scary emails
Do I allow this to upset me or do I just go with the dmp and accept that they are getting their
token payment of `£1 until January
By withdrawing my overdraft, does that put me in any worse position or not really?
I'm trying not to get stressed...

Why have you not opened a basic account with a bank you don't owe any money to? this is always the first suggestion when starting a DMPIf you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.0

I have!But my question is why have NatWest pulled the overdraft on my old account?0

Because you are not allowed any further credit. You might not think of it as a loan, but essentially an OD is a right to a short-term loan.The person who has not made a mistake, has made nothing0

But it was at the limit so I couldn't have borrowed any more!0

It's in the terms and conditions that they can ask you to repay it on demand, only they will know why they want their money back.Just get a seperate account without an overdraft facility for your day to day banking and add the overdraft to your dmp.0

By entering debt management, you are essentially saying you are unable to meet your current credit commitments, so by definition, your bank must show that it is acting responsibly, and they are demonstrating this by withdrawal of your overdraft facility, so you cannot use it in the future, standard procedure for anyone entering debt management.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free wannabe, Credit file and ratings, and Bankruptcy and living with it boards.
