You should be able to get a basic bank account with most banks. These were set up last year for cases such as yourself. If this is not possible investigate what the Post Office can do for you.

With poor credit you may not be allowed to use direct debits - in which case ask if you can use standing orders or internet payments. The latter you will have to do yourself. This should build up your credit again. Good luck.

stacey if i were you i would go to halifax.i have very poor credit rating as well and i have just opened an account with them.its called easy cash account.you can have direct debits and use your card at cash machines and shops.so get ya self to halifax stacey x

As far as I know most banks will give you a basic bank account. Halifax have one where they give you a Solo card or Visa Electron.

i got a basic account with natwest.

hey .I had the same problem as you. either go to Barclays and ask for a cash card account. they don't do credit checks its a simple bank account. or the best one is Nationwide. I have opened one with them. you can do it online. its called the Flex Account. they are brill. no overdrafts but you can still have direct debits. hope this helps. x

you can open an account with alliance and Leicester on line and get an instant decision, if you apply for the young workers current account then you will be guaranteed accepted theres reasons y i know this, you will be able to use direct debits and will be issued with a visa debit card, you can get an overdraft but dont apply for that on line, get the account open first

Hope this helped
