Bank accounts?

HI all,hope some one can answer my question, when my partner went bankcrupt 6 years ago she had to close her account with lloyds tsb,i had a account with them so all we done was pay her wages into my account and pay the bills from there since then. For the last 6 months she has opened a Co Op basic account but has not yet payed her wages into it (Not got around to it yet) ,only bank transfer money accross for her direct debit for her credit card,the thing is now were looking at getting a mortgage in the next 4 months is it werth paying them into her account now or keeping them where they are,we are not getting a motgage with lloyds tsb as we need a brooker because of her bankruptcy,so what im asking is for mortgage approval does it look bad that she does not have her wages into her account?

Many Thanks in advance :)

    It would look a bit strange, with the bankruptcy you would want everything to look as good as possible, i would get it transferred over as soon as possible.
