Hi my father in law passed away last week, we went to the credit union to get his £5000 savings to pay for his funeral. But they said the money would be used to pay for his ccj. Is this correct

Very sorry to hear about FIL but what funeral costs £6000 ? The Funeral Directors fees can be paid via the bank direct when you have their invoice; the funeral wake costs do not count.Never pay on an estimated bill0

That's a lot.
Local authorities will pay for a "paupers" funeral and will not pay for fancy car and tea and sandwiches.0 -

You need to be very careful here, administering an insolvent estate can land land you in trouble and unless it is done by the book the administrator can end up being made liable for the estates debt,
Whoever arranged the funeral with the FD is responasible for paying it. They may be able to get some of it back from the estate eventually, but the creditors can justifiably argue that it is unreasonable to for an insolvent estate to have such an expensive funeral.0 -

Has the funeral happened?
Who authorised the arrangements?
I am worried that the person that authorised this will end up paying.0 -

Thanks for the info.
Personally I think it's an awful description.0
