You need to call dwp and your payroll department to change the details.0

And you can’t transfer a £300 overdraught as I’m assuming that will be included in your debt relief order.
It worries me slightly you asking a question like this, that you may not fully understand the implications of a DRO.
Your new account should be a basic account, with no OD facility.

Hi thanks for the replies.
Sourcrates: I mean the balance on my lloyds card. Example I have £200 cash £500 including overdraft. The new account does not have a overdraft.I am not my illness, My illness is part of me.0 -
I'd move over as much as you can, providing your debt total is not near £20000, and your 'cash' is not getting near £1000.
Make sure you understand the rules and regs. This is an OK guide
