Bank Account not closed.

It seems that more and more people are being "allowed" to keep their existing bank account when they go BR, which makes giving advice more and more difficult.

Sometimes I think it would be easier if banks would just stick to their rules on BR, and close the account. I have been very lucky in that my A & L / Santander account was kept open, but it caused a huge amount of stress when moving wages, bills etc to another account, then finding that my original account wasn't closed.

Whilst it's great news when banks keep your account open, it doesn't eliminate the worrying involved in the "what if they close it when my wages have just gone in" theory.
