Help need to open another bank account

Hello and firstly may i say what a fantastic site this is!
I need some advice on getting a bank account, as im taking on lloyds re unfair bank charges im pretty sure they will close my account down, i dont have a great credit rating due to all these charges and missing payments because of the charges etc etc, it's a catch 22 once you get charged it's hard to catch up especially when your own a low income like me with a 3yr old.
So any advice on the best banks would be much appreciated.
Thanks
P.S i have looked at the section on here with regards to banks but the internet banks wont give me an account and just decline me online.
:mad:

  • i guess you can't get the full visa cards/overdraft/cheque books because of your history?

    try some visa electron cards? like the Halifax Cardcash/Easycash or one that Barclays do, can't rmember the name.
