"as my account is closed, i think i will be in for a long haul" I'm currently claiming for one open and one closed, not got court date yet. What makes you think closed accounts will be up for more of a fight from 'Woollays'? The law applies equally and to be honest, they're not going to be more congenial to present customers than former ones as they dislike them all equally imo!
