A "Sticky" for BR Friendly Companies?

Just a thought.

I’ve noticed that after Bankruptcy you can face several problems.

Not least House Contents Insurance, Mobile Phone Contracts, Paying Premiums in Instalments, Savings Accounts etc

Would it be possible to do a “Sticky” telling us all who the BR friendly companies are?

It’ll save so many people a lot of time, money and grief – knowing who the good companies are.

  • this sounds like a good idea. I would certainly be interested, as I am only newly BR though I don't have any companies to add unfortunately.

    they were one of the ones that came back on my search as ones that would accept us. This is a minefield!
