    No, nor is it likely that the bank will close it.
  • the reason i ask, is because i know of at least 2 people who were told by the bank to close their accounts and if i had to do that, i'm afraid i would not be able to get a new account to cover my d/debts

    Since July 2007 the banks are not allowed to close bank accounts as a direct result of claiming back bank charges under the FSA Waiver.
    I have not worked for NatWest Bank since February 2009
