  • You can move to a basic bank account or current account elsewhere - especially if you are overdrawn the debt becomes contested whilst you reclaim and you can make a fresh start. Don't ignore the old bank. Claim financial hardship and make a claim for your fees.

    I did this and ended up in credit after all the to and forth.
