    Why not just ask for a Visa debit card in place of the cash card you have on your cash card account, they will issue you one on the same account.

    LTSB Cash Account - VISA debit
    Halifax/BOS - VISA Electron
    Co-op - VISA Electron

    The above accounts as similar to your Barclays Cash Card Account (i.e. basic bank account).

    I would suggest LTSB, as they only need to bring one form of ID (i.e. passport or driving license). They will check the voters roll for your address.

    Barclays also only requires one form of ID (passport or photocard driving license, full or provisional.)

    In addition, Barclays also accepts bankrupts, which most banks do not (it's us and the Co-Op, basically.)

    It's not credit scored at all. It's a card that requires authorization for every purchase, so there is virtually no risk to it. You can ask in branch to switch it over.
