    Yes, your bank account will more than likely get frozen, but it depends on your bank. It is actually your bank that takes action, and not the official receiver.

    You may well be best advised speaking to your bank, as they all have their own policies concerning this, forewared is forearmed!

    If it looks like you account will be frozen, there are a number of other banks that offer accounts to Bankrupts, Co-Op, Barclays and Nationwide are the main ones.

    You can open an account before you go Bankrupt, however, you cannot guarentee that the new one wont be frozen as well, so you may be best to open an account immediately after you go Bankrupt.
