    Hi

    To be honest i would open an account with a bank that has no link to any of your creditors. I have heard tales on here of the creditor taking from one account to pay off debts held in another account that has arrears.

  • Yeah yellowmonkey is correct. Lloyds take money out of my current account to pay my CC so I know they can and do do it. Better to open an account where you owe no money
