Trying To Find A New Bank Account - Struggle & Desperate

  • I would check to see if you are on the Electoral Roll at your new address first, if you are then I would ask them why they are refusing you an account x

    I'll check tomorrow, if not I'll fill in a form and get myself on it.

    I will try the co-op bank as well, but I suspect it will be a no also... but I will appeal because was there some kind of thing passed in March about everyone being entitled to a basic bank account, a legal right.

    I personally cannot see the issue when I am not asking for credit. The annoying thing is, my last bank account was operated find and credited every month with money and I never bounced a DD!
