Main Account in Bankruptcy application

I’ve recently opened a new basic bank account, which I will be having my income paid into from 23rd April. 

The bankruptcy application asks, which is my main account, pretty straight forward question I know. But do I select my new basic account on my application (there’ll be no activity on the account until 23rd onwards) or select my old Current account which shows my financial activity up until 23rd April.

    If the Official receiver / Bank allows yes. I will more than likely return to using it as my main account again. But don’t expect it to remain open as it is a full current account (minus an overdraft)

    (the new basic account is with a different bank. I’m also torn between using the new basic account or my existing Monzo account)
