Hi,does anyone know of a bank/building society that will offer a "normal! account. there are so many restrictions on my account at the moment I can't even get a debit card!!Also how can I start to rebuild my credit rating. I hav been discharged from bankruptcy for almost two years. I have started my own business now which is doing well but can't seem to get a business account either.Any ideas???

Barclays and Natwest offer basic bank accounts that have debit cards. Natwest do a "Step Up" account that's designed to help you improve your credit.
As to the business account, it's credit checked. I got mine less than 2 years after discharge but that's because I got it with the bank I'd had my personal account with since before declaring so it showed a good history and they were able to base a decision on that.
Having restrictions on your account and having trouble getting credit/business accounts for a few years is one of the prices you pay for banking.0
