Direct debits?

Should I tell whatever direct debits I have that I will be going bankrupt and my account may be frozen when some will be coming out? Or should I pay them before they come out then carry on as normal after account is unfrozen? I've got sky, 02, water and my rent coming out

    If your keeping the same account, I wouldn't tell them. If they don't go through due to the account being frozen you can explain then. Does your landlord know your going bankrupt ? Might be a good idea to bankrupt just after rent is paid, that way your banking should be stable for next payment
