when you're bankrupt apparantly you CAN open a (basic) bank account but you need to declare that you're bankrupt.
Any assets and income increases obtained during the bankruptcy should be declared to the Trustee.
You must not obtain credit of £250 or more from any person without first disclosing the fact that you are bankrupt.
Any bank or building society accounts must no longer be used.
You must not make any direct payments to your creditors.
You may also have to attend Court to explain why you are in debt. If you do not co-operate, you could be arrested.

Conduct business directly or indirectly in any name other than that in which he or she was made bankrupt
