Dont suppose anybody out there knows where to open a bank account over the internet for a person with very bad credit and whose bank has just wrote to them telling them they arent paying there standing orders or direct debits any more. Would also help if I could get a cash card too!

Didnt actually miss that many payments and they did fine me any way but I could really do with the help.

Thanks

Jo

    Jo try the Co-operative bank. Their only criteria is that you don't have any ccj's and you can apply online.

    Hi
    I don't know if this link will work, but here goes! :D

    http://www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk/pdfs/bank_accounts.pdf

    If not, go to the moneymadeclear website and you can find it. This lists all the banks which give basic bank accounts, whether they give you a debit card or just a cash card etc etc.

    Good luck!
