    I think you just answered your own question. Credit card paid through the courts, and disputed loan? Think that may be why!

    Banks are getting nervous these days. Especially with Current Accounts, because whatever O/D facility may or may not be agreed, it is easy for anyone to go over the limits. So they would prefer not to take a risk. You have adequately demonstrated to them that you are a potentiall bad risk.

    It seems obvious why they no longer want you as a customer.
