Hi, you do still have the right to you money and most banks keep it in "unclaimed funds account" for approx 4-6 years. If you request a closing bank statement, ie last issued statement it will show exactly how much was moved, and to which account.

They would not close an account just because it had not been used for 12 months.
I suspect we have not had the whole story here.

Could it not be closed at all merely dormant?
If so A&L will need to re confirm your ID and address (possibly in person) before they will re-activate the account.
