March's 2014 BR Club

If it's not a basic Barclays account then it's always a risk. And for most banks, going BR is automatic closure, no matter what phone or branch staff may tell you.

I am sorry CB, time after time I’ve heard this, some are lucky and their accounts are downgraded to a basic one, but this is rare. You should be fine with Barclays, let us know how you get on.

Please can I join you lovely lot? Going bankrupt tomorrow my appointment is at 8.15 :O. Worried sick I've filled out the forms wrong also for the refunded court fees I only have bank statements as proof of income and benefits is this enough? I could really do with the £175! Also I'm moving house in 2 weeks, will this effect anything? And finally how long did everyone's banks get frozen for? I stupidly didn't change mine and me and my partners still use a joint one, it's only a basic account but with debit cards no over drafts or debt owed on it
Feel terrible as he gets paid Friday I've withdrawn everything in it, the banks with nationwide. Sorry if these questions have been asked and answered before I couldn't find any answers. Thanks in advance. X

Hi Beccanator, you can join us and welcome to March's BR Club, I've added your name to post one.

I hope today is going OK and have my fingers crossed for you.

Please do ask your questions on the main BR board for more answers and support.

Re the bank it is so hard to say as it does differ from branch to branch. Ring Nationwide and ask it they will downgrade your account to a basic one, if they don't then open a basic account at Barclays.
