  • Try writing to the banks and finding out why they have been closed. Banks are being a bit funny with everyone at the moment.
    I used to suffer from lack of motivation.... now I just can't be arsed.

    You're 17, you have no credit report. Close all accounts and open one with another bank that you have never been with.
  • Will the transaction that you were commiting to not be on your bank statements? Maybe worth writing to the banks and asking why these accounts have been closed. What kind of accounts were you trying to go for? A few of the banks have accounts for people under 21 maybe try one of these accounts?

    Have you spoken to Equifax or Experian I have taken the point you are only 17 but something must of happened.

    I would speak to the CRA's ASAP.

    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    The OP is typing a 100MPH and the post makes no sense at all.

    Sorry Mr P. :o
  • My first step would be to go into the bank, and ask them why the accounts were closed.

    2 outcomes here -

    1. They tell you 'no'.
    2. They take you into the back, and explain to you what is wrong, so that you can fix it.

    Btw, i was 16 & 2 months when i opened my first bank account. It was natwest and i took my first pay cheque (£45 a week) into it (was in 2000) and ive held the account since then.

    If you dont speak to them, and move onto the next bank, the next one will be closed as in the credit report it will say.. -

    NATWEST - ***Account Closed***
    BARCLAYS - ***Account Closed***
    LLOYDS - ***Account Closed***

    If you catch me, the next one is going to say '***Account Closed***;.

    Ask and you shall receive.

    Good luck,

    Alias
