    Hi
    Only search done for a Step account is for ID and fraud purposes, not a full credit search. Adverse credit is fine.
    It is a 'basic' bank account but comes with a solo debit card and allows direct debits/standing orders etc.
    Also the option to add on advantage blue at £6.95 per month but make sure you will USE the benefits first.
    Hope this helps :D

    Serious adverse credit would result in this account being refused, a credit check does take place.

    This is nothing to do with your bank account and everything to do with the finance company.

    You took out a loan agreement with a contractual payment date. You have asked to vary the terms of that contract and they have said that there's a charge for the time and effort you have put them to.

    To avoid the charge, don't vary the date.
