    If you need a new bank account, I suggest joining quidco.co.uk.
    You can then open up a Citibank account for which they will pay you a fee of £50. The cash takes a few months to be credited, but the account will be opened up quite quickly and they accept people with defaults and C.C.J's.

    I can not help you with your DMP question sorry.

    Go to the 'Budgeting and current accounts' section of this site, there are people posting on the timescales on there.
