Assets and bank accounts during BR.

I understand that any assets I have will be sold on/forfeited. My only assets are:

-A laptop (worth about £200)
-A Playstation (worth about £120) and a couple of games
-A tv (worth about £150).
-A phone (worth about £30).
-A few clothes (total worth under £100)

I live in a rented room. I do not own any furniture or any cars or anything else! Would I have to sell all the above?!

Also - will I still have access to my bank account? It's a Co-Op cash minder account. My wages get paid in to there monthly.

    Don't think you need to worry about those assets. I had all of them (and more) - nothing had to be sold. The OR would be more interested in antique jewellery or luxury items.

    I believe your Co op Cashminder will be frozen for a short time, but should be ok in the long term. Take some money out to cover your expenses whilst it's frozen. ;)

    my co op bank account wasnt touched at all. i own a laptop,tv and a bike none were touched. they are usually too low in value to be of any interest :)

    The OR is not interested in those household things. And the Co-op cashminder won't be frozen.
