Closing Bank Accounts - Help

[Joseph Jagger]

Hi,

In the past I had bank accounts with Lloyds TSB, Nationwide and RBS. They were accounts I had in my early teens and growing up.

Since then I have moved 3 times and no longer know the bank account details to enable me to close them.

Which is the best way forward to get these closed? Often banks require the request in writing but without the account details or remembering the address I was at at the time it is impossible to close them.

phone them up.
They will ask you some basic security questions.
then tell them what you want to do.

It's not difficult

IIRC one of the questions is Post Code??
