Trulymiserable
Thank you for posting this. I was thinking the exact same and had been looking for a post on the subject.
Like you I also have debts with Lloyds TSB and when things started going pear shaped I switched to HBOS, I have an easycash account and a websaver with them. I hope I don't have to try find another bank to take me on, as I'm happy with the service HBOS have provided.

Hi Guys
This proposed merger has got me worried as well. I'm on a DMP and I've got a debt with Intelligent Finance who are part of Halifax and my safe account is with Lloyds. I really hope I don't have to find another bank - safe accounts are becoming harder to find with all these mergers!

I'm also concerned with this as i have credit cards with both LTSB and HBOS. Would they reduce my credit limit? Also where would this leave the people that are trying to reclaim bank charges from HBOS?After falling off the gambling wagon (twice): £33,600 (24,000+ 9,600) - Original CC Debt: £7,885.91

I don't think anyone need worry straight away as it'll probably take quite a while before they'll be able to catch on to that.
Barclays do a basic account as do the Co-Op.0 -
Yep - I am on a DMP and have debt with Intelligent Finance (Halifax ) too. I moved my current account to Lloyds when I went on DMP but now it looks like I'll have to move again.
I'm not hanging around and have just applied for a NatWest Step account but if they don't accept me I'll be stuck - I owe money to HSBC, Barclays, HBOS/Lloyds and CoOp
