just come across this in a selling group people who not on benefits are getting refunds ive had 43 from my bank not a great deal but if u know what ya doing may be worth it try ringing ya banks It has come to my attention that under Section 187 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 There is an Act of Parliament which over-rides banks taking charges from your account if you are in receipt of any of the following benefits. • Income Support • Tax Credits • Child Benefit • Job seekers allowance • Incapacity benefit • Disability living allowance • Attendance Allowance • CSA payments • Other DWP payments These social security benefits are granted to stop hardship and are designed to meet basic day to day needs, and are exempt and are protected under the Social Security Administration Act 1992 sub section 187. from arrestment in terms of section 187 of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (see Enforcement of Civil Obligations in Scotland, Scottish Executive report, at paragraph 5.245). Section 45 of the Tax Credits Act 2002 Chapter 21 part 1 is an identical provision to the said section 187 of the 1992 Act. This stipulates that the banks can not apply any charges to money received as benefit, and any such charges are unlawful and therefore disallowed. Therefore as I am currently in receipt of I would like a refund for all my charges whilst in receipt of said benefits.
