Hello everyone. I was recently in a Iva and used the forum for answers. all completed and needed a current account to move forward. My current bank refused to do a switch as it was a basic bank account. I opened a current account with NatWest and one of my debts was with the them. Will they pursue me for the debt even tho it was included and everything settled. It’s not there on my credit file just 3 debts that are settled and closed but not cleared yet.
Maybe the wrong move.
My account is up and running and switch of basic account switched over.

Advice greatly needed. Thanks.

No -- they will not pursue you for any debt written off by your previous IVA.

You should have no problems with this. I had debts with Barclays and still have an account with them today.
