That does not make sense.HSBC i have debt with... the only building societies i have is cumberland which require a clean credit score

You may have to look at savings accounts, or at best a account with a cash card.
There are only so many options out there and by the sound of it you owe money to most of them already.
So you need to lower your sights and look at maybe acounts with a passbook. Which will allow payments into. But stop you spending more than you get...Never ASSUME anything its makes a>>> A55 of U & ME <<<0 -

tAvailable in printed form with a data table on diskette, or incorporated in payment software packages, these tables confirm that the account number quoted is valid for the accompanying sort code. (They do not verify that the account is correct for the named beneficiary).0 -

Don't get why your employer would care where you have the wages paid too.
Sorry.....
B/S do still offer passbook accounts. In fact my mother still has 2 passbook accounts with santander.
I'm trying to help by giving you other options.....
Clearly you are not liking the options being provided.

Nobody's trying to make you feel crap, but you need to appreciate the situation you're in. It's not an enviable one, but that's not our fault. No account you can get will allow you to get further into debt, hopefully you already realise that. What is so different about your job/employer that they are so extra-vigilant.0 -
my only building societies cumberland have said they stoped passbooks for new customers about a year ago in favour of visa debit cards
Then you need to put yourself out and find a bank/building society further afield. We can't conjure up a bank/building society where there isn't one.0 -
