Doesnt 'in debit' means that amount is still owed? I thought if something was 'in credit' then it was up to date or ahead?0

Probably showing as "up to date" as they'll close the account & start a new zero balance one from the date you went BR...maybe?
I wouldnt keep accessing your account online though....if its been included in your BR they can start to get a little awkward as technically its no longer your problemWe all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will0
