IVA and Bank Accounts

in IVA & DRO
Hi, I am currently 3 years in an IVA with Grant Thornton and need to apply for a new bank account. I have been looking at the Nationwide Building Society's Cashcard Account and was told they do not carry out credit checks nor do they ask whether you have an IVA. I have the application form and on it is a question about do you have an IVA and then the form says if you do they can't open this account. I have basically been told not to say I have an IVA for these sort of accounts to enable me to get one. Coop was recommended but can't go to them. All I want is a bank account that I can pay my wages into, debit card and direct debits, without having to pay a fee for it. Do they exist, please help. Thanks.

Most banks have some form of BASIC account that you should be able to open. Why is Co-Op out of the picture ?
HSBC is very IVA unfriendly, but I know quite a few people have been accepted for NatWest .... but do make sure it's for the basic account.0
