Re: Account Freezing
My account was not frozen at all, and I was advised by the bank that I could keep it open indefinitely.
Moved my large gratuity out with no problems, a few days after the official leaving date.
So I would say as long as you do everything legally then there won't be any issues at all.
I do know of someone who did get hung out to dry on a car loan, he owed money on it and managed to sell the car, but the bank refused to approve the sale and continued to hound him for the payments - he ended up defaulting from outside the country and I assume the bank just had to eat the loan. However, that was not a run-of-the-mill situation or a run-of-the-mill departure (that person did not leave his/her company on good terms) and I suspect that all played a part.
If you are leaving on good terms and do all the paperwork etc I would be very surprised if there were any complications.

Good terms at the moment but the 2 month notice period is already killing me. Thank **** it's over Christmas.

Just start to be a pain in the arse to the management and they will ask you to leave quicker - keep making new suggestions which is what is being done in your new company; start arranging meetings which have no useful agenda or conclusions; or pay $50 for a quack to give you 3 weeks sick leave

Re: Account Freezing
From recollection, the labour law says that the two-month period can be waived in entirety or in part by a payment from the employee to the company for the time being forfeited - ie, if you want to leave with only a month's notice, you pay them a month's salary etc.
So if it's bothering you that badly see if the company is up for negotiating down the notice period.

They're not monsters or anything, they'd just be ****ed if I left immediately. Once the main guys are back and we're into mid Jan I'll ask to finish end of Jan instead.
