make sure it can't be re-opened with any pending transactions.
you might want to put a hard debit block on the account.

You will need to get the bank manager involved and make sure the account is fully closed like Paul suggested. The bank can do this but sometimes you have to try a few different employees before you will find one that will help and knows what they are doing.

I agree, try talking to the manager first; explain your problem in detail, I'm sure they've heard it before. Take a list of questions with you and take notes when you're talking to them. Make sure the account can't be forced back open by the PDLs and also make sure that your bank won't charge return fees when the PDL's try to withdraw funds from your account.

Yes, do like they said, you have to talk to the manager, we have heard all the horror stories here and would hate to hear another one.

I not only closed my account, but my branch manager put a stop on all 6 of my loan payments and kept it from re-opening.

He was great. Talk to the branch manager. They are more than willing to help.
