Apparently as bankrupts we are not supposed to be able to afford to save! I was under the impression we were not allowed saving accounts, however when I went into my local barclays bank to assist my 14 year old in opening an account they asked if I had an account (which I do, however I use co-op more) they offered me the savings account. I didn't like to say I am BR, are you sure I can, in the middle of the branch so I let her apply for it, and 6 months ish down the line I still have it and can transfer between current and savings account online.0
