    Hello there,

    As far as I'm aware you should be OK to keep the account. You are under no obligation to inform Barclays although they are likely to discover the DRO as they run periodic insolvency reports. All that said, Barclays are arguably the best bank to be with for those looking to become insolvent - as they usually allow people to keep their accounts.

    Best wishes,

    David @ NDL.
