hi all i'm after some advice regards to basic bank accounts. i've got some bad credit which has made it impossible for mew to get a current account so i've had to get a basic acct instead. i've had a easycash acct with halifax for around 3 years during which time it has been run well, unfortunetely they wont upgrade my account as i've had a ccj in the last 3 years, no matter how my account is run.
I'm looking to change banks to one which would take my account history into consideration when deciding to upgrade me to a current account. Do natwest do this with their step acct?

Lloyds TSB carry out internal checks. There is even a chance they might offer you a credit card at some point.
I had a NatWest Step account for years but they do not upgrade it to Current Plus account. With my poor credit history I applied for the Current Plus account and was accepted with a Maestro £250 cheque guarantee card!0 -
