Good bank?

Hi all was looking for a bit of advice.

Currently I have a bank account with RBS with a student overdraft and a loan and a credit card with them also. I also have some store cards that mount up to about £600. I went to see RBS bout consolidating my debts in 2 an extention or take out another loan to which they said no nor offered any advice on what to do.

Any1 got any sugestions on what banks are good for students, with good Customer service and a little more stable than RBS currently is?

Thanks
James

    Hi James,

    RBS are stable, however they have tightened their lending criteria, as per other financial organisations - credit crunch.

    You mention you are a student - are you working, and if so, what is your salary, how much are you looking to borrow etc?

    I think by looking what you have said you may want to take a look at the DFW board, as there may be other options to consolidating.

    Hope that helps
    Best Regards

    zppp :)
