An old lady, discharged bankrupt but tells me there's a court order taking £100 PM out of her state pension each month for 3 years "because you have a good income." She get £1100 per month in benefits and state pension.
She goes to Lloys TSB for a current account (she doesn't have one) and they tell her they need a letter of authority from the court for her to have a basic current account. She wants a debit card and would like her pension paid direct into an account; at the moment she has to get into the post office to get cash out.
She tells me the court charge a fee of £70 for a letter / authority.
I don't knmow wnay more details that that. But I would like to know:
1. can she have a basic bank account without having to pay £70 for the privilege?
2. how is it that a discharged bankrupt is still paying her creditors through an attachment to earnings order via her state pension?
