Which banks are the most sympathetic to bankrupts? I have a current account with Abbey and know it will befrozen when I declare myself bankrupt. I was wondering what to do about my wages being paid in, direct debits etc. Will they be sympathetic and will it only be forzen for a short time or will I need to open a totally new account? If so which bank?

As Housing mentioned the Co-op Cashminder is the account that most people, including myself, have and you shouldn't have a problem opening an account with them.
