    ^^ good advice if they bank with the mortgage lender.

    No. The mortgage was with Bank of Ireland and banking with Natwest.

    OK........even so, if BR is a course of action being considered, it would be best if all parties concerned applied for a basic account each, at either Co-op [Cashminder] or Barclays[basic]....since these two banks currently are the only one's who do not get nasty once BR is petitioned......and close accounts.

    Cashminder accounts cannot be opened once BR is petitioned, and applicant still undischarged.


    Barclays not so fussy.


    Cashminder has internet banking facility......Barclays withdraw that facility whilst Undischarged BR.


    Early preparation is essential....once BR is considered, one way or another.
    No, I don't think all other drivers are idiots......but some are determined to change my mind.......
