Here's an advanced technique: If you can hold out for three more months, open another bank account immediately with maybe fifteen hundred or two thousand or so and start making all you deposits/automatic deposits into it as they'll want your last 2-3 months of bank statements.

Close the other one and protect the funds someway.
