Hi it's looking likely that my wife will end up having to go down the DRO route. What I am concerned about is what will happen to her paypal account -- which is in USD and based in the US and also our joint US bank account, the amount in the account is minimal only a few dollars. Will the OR send information to that bank?

Thanks for any advice
Don't worry it'll all work out in the end :beer:

    Hi,
    No they won't, because they won't know of the existence of the account if you don't owe that bank any money and there are not more than £300 (or US equiv) savings within it.
