Discharged, need a cheque book, any ideas?

Hi All,

As the title says I am discharged from bankruptcy and would really like a cheque book. No overdraft, no debit card, nothing else just a bog standard account with a cheque facility.
I already have a co-op cashminder account which is ideal but lacks the cheque book.

I have applied for Natwest basic account but got turned down due to BR being on my file. I was gonna give it a month or so before I done the credit file clean up so any ideas in the mean time?

And yes I really do need a chequbook, I know there are alternatives.

Cheers

(lol, just realised I posted this in the credit card section by mistake, cue the flames)

    I can't I'm afraid. Can only do that on boards I am a BG for.

    Just let it go. ;)

    It can be entertaining.;)

    Aw, they're not too bad over there, I've posted a few times in their section without any nastiness, certainly alot friendlier than some of the others :rolleyes:

    ITBS, let me know how you get on, a cheque book would be really really useful for me too. It's a right pain making sure I have exact money for all the school trips, subs, photos etc etc for 3 children

    I needed to send some money with my driving licence - had to change the picture as it was nothing like me, and I mean nothing like me!! I had to get a postal order in the end which cost me £2!! Would have been a lot easier and cheaper if I had a cheque book.

    Well thanks a lot you guys.


    No heat, no flames so I got stuck with bingo and MIL..... You could have started a fight. Just a small one.
