Savings Account for Children - rejected

Hi All,

Wonder if anyone is able to help, am feeling rather cross at the minute.

Basically me and OH declared BR in Aug 09, we now live in a rented property and have a joint account with the Co-op. Just the basic account. We have two children and wanted to set up savings accounts, applied via the Co-op ( this was in my namefor the kids) and the application got rejected.

When I spoke to them they said to appeal, get a copy of my credit report and of the BR Discharge details, we were both discharged in Dec 09. I noted that me and hubby have joint account already with Co-op, that I have a mobile phone contract, all bills are paid on time etc.

Have just had the Appeal decison and it has been rejected !!!!:(


Has anyone else had experience with this ?
