You have to declare your accounts on the forms. The OR will do some investigations to make sure you haven't forgotten anything.
If you have opened a Co-op Cashminder or Barclays Cash account ready for bankruptcy you have to declare it and the OR should say he has no interest and you can carry on using it.
The bankruptcy order is published in the London Gazette as well as your local paper - the finance houses/banks read the London Gazette and will often write to the OR to inform them of undisclosed accounts, so beware with withholding info, it can only cause you difficulties later on...

hi ok we're confused we have opened a new current account with the co-op (prior to us going BR) and only have money paid in and 3 dd that are not creditors, now we were told we DO NOT have to disclose this account on the soa only the old accounts as this would delay with the OR unfreezing the new account. Now advice is being given on here to disclose every account on your soa just what is it that we are suppose to be doing????
If I become bankrupt will they have access
