| Comment | Also, I'm not sure how it works now, but a few years ago when I had money seized this way for an unpaid parking ticket, the bank round it up to the nearest £500 and hold onto the rest of the money. Their justification is that it's to cover any other demands that might come in, of course it just lets them hold onto that money for 6 months or so.
From what the OP has said there shouldn't be a problem contesting this, but definitely get Citizens Advice to help rather than risk mucking it up yourself. If the wheels of the court case are already in motion it might be prudent to minimise the amount of money that you have sitting in the bank, although I guess they might just garnish wages or benefit payments instead... |
