after bankruptcy

I wonder if anyone knows the answer to this... I have one catelogue which i use very occasionally and pay off in full any outstanding balance. I do this to keep my credit file nice a clean with lots of green ticks. However, I am very shortly to be made bankrupt. I have no debt with the catelogue. Will the Official Receiver close it down? Will the catelogue company see the new status of my account and close it down? or will I be allowed to continue to keep it?

    You will have to check the T & C to see if it mentions BR, or being insolvent.

    I had 3 mail order accounts which 2 had a a balance and were written off the other was at nil and has remained open but I have not been brave enough to use it. My BR happened quickly so I did not expect things to be left open, however one of my account was buy now pay later all of it was written of which I did feel bad about because I had no intentions of going BR
    If you woke up this morning congratulations, you have another chance :j
