I had an abbey basic account open prior to BR, it hasa zero balance and the or have said they have no interest in it, it hasnt been closed does that mean it is safe to use
If only a few weeks it may be the the OR has not notified the bank of your bankruptcy as yet.
I don't think Abbey have a 'bankruptcy friendly' bank account so it seems that they might eventually write to you saying the aco**** is being defaulted due to bankruptcy.
I had an easycash account with the halifax and they wrote to me saying they had closed it aobut 6 weeks after BR.
I advise you to try opening a coop cashminder account forthwith and/or a nationwide cashbuilder account. lots of people on this forum have them.
you could also open a titanium card at one of those cheque cashing places. i opened one shortly after going br but have not rally used it. i think you can get pay paid into it, amongst other things
