who has legal access to my bank account?

[Doozle]

Please, does anyone know if the local authority has access to my bank account?

[puddicat]

in scotland they can access your acct and take money out that is owing like council tax, think they contact the bank for permission

[Ethel]

Not without a court order.

What's happened?

However, the Inland Revenue might tell them of any tax paid on the interest in your bank accounts. Maybe

[Ethel]

Are you sure, puddicat? Don't the need a garnishee order from the court?

[Doozle]

Thanks Puddicat. I suppose England could be the same!

[puddicat]

i got a letter from the bank after they had taken money!!

[Doozle]

Thank you Ethel. I didn't expect such prompt answers!

[Ethel]

What did the letter say, puddicat?

[factor-fiction]

Are you asking :
(a)whether the local authority has authority to take money from your account; or
(b) whether it has a right to obtain details of how much you have in your account?
I think you mean the latter. In what circumstances are they asking?

[puddicat]

cant remember long time ago.

[skipy]

i understand they need a court order this would only happen if you where owing to debtors
