    What are our schools up to?
    I can't make head or tail of what you are trying to say. Perhaps a few commas and full stops would be a start.
    If you want to flame me, please do so, but if I had to do business with someone who writes as you do I would run a mile!
    Kindly explain why you HAVE to have a debit card?Do you earn any money now?Have banks given any reason why they can't open an account for you?

    LOL!

    Your response was very funny!
  • Bizarre. If you query her other posts, they are all almost exclusively in lower case. Maybe this is caused by speech recognition software?

    PS Eric.... put a couple of spaces after full stops & question marks, there's a good chap.

    Got to agree - I didn't understand either and if you are going into business, communication has to be fairly crucial.

    hmm I'm reading this as: you have been turned down at 2 banks for a current account?
    You could try a halifax cardcash account, although it does say it's for teens, my brother (age28) has one, he has a poor credit history and opened one with no problems. He received a cheque book and a visa electron card.

    Cardcash accounts are no longer available to new adult customers, just teens.

  • if I have decoded your message correctly(!) I can give you an answer in easy-to-understand code

    you have no wage slips = you have no income = you have no debit card!

    if it's a full maestro (switch) card that you are after you will usually need an income & for those not having a salary/wage coming in a basic (solo) card is issued - enough to access the ATM's to get what little cash is in the account

    sorry if it's not what you want to hear

    strange? the details of it are still on moneysupermarket ???

    the co-op bank do one too, again with a electron debit card. I don't think you can apply online for this account though. In a branch or over the phone only.
