balance transfer problem

hi. about a month ago i was looking for a card to transfer £1500 from lloyds platinum mastercard. to my suprise i was turned down by about three, so i finally tried mbna. heard nothing for two weeks then had a message saying they required futher information. at the time i couldnt be bothered to phone them. anyway two weeks later with no more contact they sent me a card and ive just activated and set up online banking with a 2500 limit. problem is in the mean time tsb changed me to airmiles duo and the account no is different from the one which mbna have done the balance transfer to(that acc no longer exsists) will tsb pick this up and apply the transfer to the new number or will they return the payment to mbna?? ive got a feeling im going to be on the phone a long time with this one

thanks for any help

    You will find Lloyds will just transfer this to the new card.
