  • If I were you I would get a Co-op cashminder now and get your wages and DD's etc. transfered asap.

    The charges are a debt and do not go on your SOA.

    I'd advise doing this as well as they are refering accounts that have any anomolies on the credit check (even thought they aren't giving you credit:confused: ) so you can't open it immediatly. Mine was open within a week though.

  • ok thanks. I was going to wait as some people are saying that this new one might be frozen too?
    Can you still have one of these accounts if you get a bro/bru? Think I might get one of these from the gambling we did!

    I too would (and did!) open the account before BR. When you have your OR interview tell him that it is a basic account that you opened in anticipation of your BR. It is usually okay.
