    Nationwide and Barclays so basic accounts .
    None of these come with a cheque book sorry. As the poster above says, run these well and you may be able to get the higher accounts

    Thanks nationwide told me that 3 years ago after I was downgrade told this week that I would not be able to have most of nationwide s accounts to 2024 I stayed away from rbs as I had the cards with them and bank of Scotland that got defaulted in 2007 so they would have all my details on record that s why I tried some one new I think the arrangements are killing me and will do for ever seems the credit company's that treat you worst ie not stopping interest and drag it on for years can ruin you for life

    dumpyboy the most likely reason Lloyds aren't interested in your custom is the debt you mention to Bank of Scotland, they're part of the Lloyds Banking Group.

    Thanks must admit did not connect TSB, do applying for current account shows on your credit file like applying for credit card or not

    Yes they do, though TSB is now a separate bank from TSB
    Time is a path from the past to the future and back again. The present is the crossroads of both. :cool:

    Sorry that should have been TSB is now a separate bank from Lloyds.

    Whilst TSB is now a separate bank from Lloyds, it still remains part of Lloyds Banking Group, for the moment at least
