    Make sure you don't have any money in any bank account when you go BR or the OR could take it.

    I opened mine on the day of BR. Otherwise you have to list them on your BR forms and the OR could freeze them temporarily or longer!!!!

    I told Co-op on the day re BR and all has gone well.
  • So if i open the account prior do i have to tell them on my bancruptcy forms and if i do will they close it down

    Money in any account I wish :rotfl:

    seeing as the account is a basic one in theory the OR wont show an interest (unless he's in bristol!) i've only known one account been closed IF the account is frozen the OR can soon sort easily
