CCJs and Need New Bank Account

Hi Everyone,

I need to get a new bank account but have acouple of CCJs. I also have a credit card I can't pay and my current bank account is with the same bank (LloydsTSB). My only income is Income Support of £81.95 per week so I'm not going to be much of a catch for a bank! I really don't want to go through being turned down over and over again so can anyone suggest a bank I could try which might be willing to let me have a simple basic current account?

Thanks, Sue
