i have heard of people keeping lloyds accounts after BR but if you wanted to cover all bases, open a COOP cashminder account just before BR so long as you don't owe the COOP.
It is generally recommended to empty most of the money out of any account you think may be frozen or closed.

Hi all
I had 2 accounts with lloydsTSB
1 Personal account this was frozen by the Bank.
I was using the OD on that accout when I went BR
The other a joint Account,which had a small amount of credit, was not Frozen by the bank,
I recieved a new card from them ,so I rang there BR team to find out, why the card was sent to me, I was told I could use the card but not the cheque book.
The freezing of the Account is upto the Banks not the OR,
Hope this helps

All the best

Leakie
