Hi

Just wondered if anyone can give me some advice. My son has finally put his debts into the hands of a debt management company, and consequently his current account has been frozen. He was with Natwest, had an overdraft and also a debt on a credit card with them.
His debt manager advised him to withdraw as much cash as he could before the freeze - which he did.

However, he abviously need a new account now ( I have been telling him for weeks to open a second account - but did he listen, oh no) and just wondered if anyone has any ideas as the best place to try. He is not going for an IVA if thats any help/
