If the pattern of those transaction did give the impression of some dodgy goings-on, then you'll have your reason for the closure.
Direct payments such as salaries, benefits are not permitted on savings accountsIm an ex employee RBS GroupHowever Any Opinion Given On MSE Is Strictly My Own0 -
Well i phoned natwest and they said it's fine.
Not to mention, the account was closed before the bacs payments even had chance to reach the account.
So are there any banks that i can walk into, with my discharge confirmation letter, that will accept me???
Obviously ive been declined by the following:
Barclays (due to a debt)
Co op cashminder (dont know why)
Natwest instant access saver (opened account then closed)
Rbs (declined application not sure why)
What i think, like yorkshire boy said, theyre doing checks and its obviously being returned as still undischarged. Why? I dont have a clue. Which is why i think that natwest request that you have to go into their branch with a discharge confirmation letter. Just wondering if any other banks will allow you to do so? Maybe nationwide, lloyds, or sandtander?0 -
Was your previous NatWest account part of your bankruptcy?

I know, but its just a savings account? No risk of any !!!! ups. I'll know my answer as to why they closed the account when they get hold of me tomorrow anyway. And as for the other banks i mentioned, i may walk in and ask to talk to the manager about opening up an account with my discharge letter.0 -
That explains the RBS decline too. Same group.0

I'm surprised it allowed the savings account to be opened. Your ID number should be marked internally to allow no facilities of any type to be offered. Full stop. Ever.0
