in Bankruptcy & living with it
I have a DRO. I am looking for a basic savings account that I have access to. C0-0p is unlikely - are there any more available please?
Thanks

    Sainsbury - although they wanted proof of my discharge (so may not be able to help a BR).

    Natwest, whilst BR, but that was because I already have a Step account with them that they neglected to close upon my BR. Odd, cos they were happy to give me the savings and step but not to upgrade the account.
