    Greendog - several members have reported being offered and gaining internet and telephone banking with Barclays. Then they lost it fairly quickly too. Barclays do not allow internet and telephone banking to current BRs, only after discharge.

    I haven't heard they have changed their rules on this.

    I'm not sure this is 100% true both me an my partner opened Barclays Cash Card accounts whilst bankrupt (at different branches with different advisors) both got debit card, phone and Internet banking and it wasnt added then removed but remained available through to discharge and beyond.

    You must have been very very lucky for this to happen, because it is a definite no no to online banking with Barclays whilst being an undischarged BR.

    several members have reported
    was what was posted by INAM....acknowledging that there was an element of inconsistency regarding Barclays position on the matter.......some managed to retain internet access, whilst an awful lot found it denied or withdrawn.

    With Co-op, there is no variation on procedure.
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
