dormant account re-opening

picklepuppy1982

hi
sorry if this has been asked already, i did look but couldn't find anything. I did a search for dormant bank accounts and it came back as I have a dormant lloyds tsb classic account with 5p in it woo!!
i went to lloyds today and re-opened and they said they would send me a new card and pin, but will the check my credit score again or will they just issue me a new card as the account was not closed?

does anyone know??
thank you

how do you search?

Banks have forms for the BBA which provides search facilities for bank accounts - not sure if you can do this online.

I did this with Abbey - located an old account and they just re-issued the card - they shouldnt credit score you again.

was it on the BBA website, how long did it take for them to get back to you.

I went on a website called mylostaccount.org and then got a letter from the BBA saying they had located a bank account and about 3 days later from lloyds telling me how to go about accessing again, it took about 2 months i think from start to finish.

it worth doing if you can :-)
