Hello

I needs some advise

I have a old loan debt with LTSB which was part of an IVA I entred in 2006. At that time I opened a bank account with Halifax which my wages are paid into.

My IVA failed in 2008 as I was unable to afford the repayments and I am currently trying to save the money to go bankrupt.
I have checked my credit file and there is nothing posted from the IVA to state it failed and the summary balance showed I owed nothing?

Also I have not heard from any of my creditors since my IVA failed.

But what is worrying me is the Halifax & LTSB merger and wondered if LTSB will see I'm a Halifax customer and freeze my account, will I have to open another bank account somewhere else to have my wages paid into?

Any advise would be greatly recieved
Thank you

Hi debs1007,

You will need to open a bankruptcy friendly account before the court date, I advise you open a Co-operative Bank Cashminder account. Get everything changed over, income, benefits and d/ds before you declare bankruptcy.

Thank you Viki

Unfortunately I haven't saved the fee for bankruptcy yet but was wondering if the Halifax & LTSB merger will effect me at all?

Probably not, but to be on the safe side get the cashminder open now and then you know your money will be safe.
