Todays List Of Basic Bank Accounts

Liquid_Stool

hey all,

thought this list might be useful. This was updated today. click here to find out more: http://www.moneyfacts.co.uk/banking/bestbuys/banking_basic_bank_accounts.aspx

whilst your here, does anyone know if i need to declare that i was BR when applying for a new bank account? I was bankrupted in 1999, discharged in 2000 so everything has disappeared from my file. I've not applied for anything since my BR day so i guess i'm a non entity!

other excellent resources i've found (one in an earlier post i made)

www.annualcreditreport.co.uk

http://myvesta.org.uk/

and just for "fun" http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/eiir/IIRNameSearchMapIE.asp where you can find details of your own or look for anyone else - it's surprising who you will turn up!

Worth adding that Natwest Step account has now been upgraded to allow online payments direct from your account.

Weird. Wonder why I don't show up in that list.

*is worried now*

<edit> Never mind, it's only for bankruptcies that ended in the last 3 months - mine ended 18 months ago! Phew!

As soon as you are discharged your bankruptcy falls off that list!! The bankruptcies are listed for the FULL term of the undischarged status

When applying for a bank account post discharge you do not need to tell them you have been bankrupt unless there is a question that specifically says "have you ever been bankrupt"

The bankruptcy falls off your CRF on discharge
