New Bank Account when in Debt?

A friend of mine has got problems ! In a nutshell....
He has a current joint account with Halifax. His wife said she wants to divorce him. He can't get a single account with Halifax because he has a bad credit rating. Once she starts proceedings then the account will likely be frozen so my question on his behalf is this:
Is there any place that is likely to open him an account so that he can have his wage paid into it? :confused:

    Try Natwest they offer the step account for people with poor credit.

    No overdraft and may only get a cash card or solo.
