will Halifax close a current basic account if the holder goes BR?

Depends if there is an owing I suppose.

Officially it used to be a yes from what I remember of the small print for the current account sometime back in 2014!!

Managed to go into a DRO with an account (both non overdraft debit and it's v basic account) held at the Halifax and have come out with the account still in full service 7 years later. I just tried to avoid drawing to much attention to myself during the 6 years.

I couldn't bank with Barclays as they were one of creditors who did literally shut my apparent "basic account" down as soon as the DRO was authorised.

You had a DRO for 7 years?
