    Yes, for quite some time.

    Interestingly, I have an old RBS acct from when I used to live in Jersey in the 90's. I left it open as I used to pay my french electric bill thru it. They just wrote saying they were changing all their RBS accts there to Nat West. I presume this is because the name of RBS is so tainted?

    Hi Thanks atush, it,s my daughter, she,s in so much debt, 3 cards totalling £11k+are in the hands of debt collectors.
    Cannot believe Natwest let her max 1, give another, max that, then give another, + there are umpteen besides, totalling £30k with nearly every bank on the high street.So much for credit checks when giving them out.My job to sort it, on the BR thread with it, trying to locate what,s what?:beer:

    Then that is what should happen.

    but beware. If she has learned nothing and carries on like this later she could be back in debt. At least a BR will mean no more easy credit.

    Doesn't matter who the bank is, they all gave out credit like candy.
