There`s nothing wrong with being honest and u[pfront as we were but it does pay to be careful what info you volunteer...........

I like old sayings and this one's a classic:

"tell the truth, but don't always be telling the truth"

in other words, answer questions honestly but DON'T volunteer anything; always best to say as little as possible.

On reflection, another one:

"bend the rules mister, bend them double, but don't break them"

Oh what wisdom in old anecdotes.

Hi there..we opened an account with yorkshire bank (current account with maestro facility on it) about 6 weeks ago with a view to becoming bankrupt(will be on April 2). CAB told us to check their policy after bankrupcy, so we made an appointment and they were great about it, and have said that they will not freeze the account. It was a huge relief as we had switched all our direct debits etc to it. I sense they will be fine with you. But you still worry all the same. Wishing you well!

Hi Just thought I would let you know I phoned my bank up today and explained that I was made BR yesterday and how would I stand with my bank account and they said I should be ok and they said the OR would send them a letter notifiying them also but they assured me that it was ok for me to carry on with my bank account so that was good news - I am just waiting now for the dreaded call from the OR!!!!!!!!

That's good news for you..i thought they'd be ok about it! Good luck with the OR phone call. How long do you have to wait for that? Bloody hell lol, there's nothing like keeping you on tenterhooks is there?

oh wow thats good to know, so if we just leave our basic bank account open with no money in it so they cant take anything we havent got we can take off where we left off thats good news!!!

they cant touch post office account for benefits can they?

iv never heard of them touching a post office account as they are just for benifits ,but it may be better to check with the post office to be sure .

I have a PO account for child benefit and the OR was not interested in it.

i'd been advised before BR date with cccs to open a basic account to pay benefits etc into, not feeling that great I eventually plucked up the courage to open a post office account for benefit payment, during the OR meeting mentioned this & he said it wouldnt be taken into consideration.

We went Br on Tuesday.The OR said they have no interest in the post office account.
