Conveyancing Checks

I have ajust appointed a solicitor to complete conveyancing for my property purchase,do they check your credit rating? Reason I ask is, I had an outstanding balance on a credit card with Abbey until 3 months ago,I then paid it off. To my suprise,this month it is now showing as I owe it again,have spoken to abbey who state they have made a mistake and the account is CLOSED.They say they cant update it till 17th August,Im worried this may show up if conveyancing solicitor does a check,and will tell mortgage lender who thinks i dont have it?

    Conveyancing checks things to do with the house you are purchasing, they wont check your credit rating - this will be checked by your mortgage lender.
