Bankruptcy order made. Question about Bank 2 letter, help needed.

Worried3648

Hi all,
My bankruptcy order was made on Tuesday. Yesterday I had a bank 2 letter to my co op basic account basically saying any balance should be released to the bankrupt. Currently the bank account has £10.00 in, tomorrow I will receive a benefit payment of £200.00. I need to ring the bank today to inform them of my bankruptcy and ask them to keep my account open (as instructed in the letter) I'm confused though.. In my original order it said I must cease using all bank accounts. Will me phoning the bank allow me to use the account again (withdraw the cash that is paid in tomorrow to pay for food and bills) or do I have to just leave the money in there until I am told by the adjudicator that my account is unfrozen. I don't think this has been made very clear.
Thanks in advance.

I would have thought there would be no problem with a co-op basic account. Worth phoning and having that conversation though.

Thank you, I am just on the phone waiting to get through to them. Will I be able to draw my balance out tomorrow or do I just leave the money in the account?
