    What is the current situation wioth your existing account - is it in credit, are you overdrawn and are there any charges due that have not yet been processed. If it is anything other than the first case, you may find the Bank will not allow you to close it until you have paid what they claim you owe.

  • Guys, Thanks for your reply. The account is in the black so I presume I can still close it and get back what I have claimed when the case finally comes to an end?
