    Apart from advertising for thinkbanking, what is the purpose of this post? What is your question? All I can say is hope you become debt free soon and good luck.

    You best post this question on the bankrupt thread as Ex-bankrupts all go with Thinkbanking so they may know more.

    You should just use a normal bank account, carefully, and save about £200 in your first year. Think Banking are not part of RBS, but keep your money in a bank account there.

    You also need to take heed of the charge your phone provider makes to call 0844 numbers. I believe some can be quite expensive.

    My intention is not to advertise im simply asking if i should be using this service or not putting details into the post!

    If you want to fritter your money away then continue using the bank.
    What do you get for the £14.50 ?

    I know what i would do, id ditch them and open an account ( especially 1 that doesn't come a fee ) with another bank.
