Student Current Accounts - Bad Credit Rating

Options
Hi there

I am starting Uni in Sept, bit of a late starter at 22! Im aware I have a dreadful credit rating due to past mistakes and was wondering if there was any chance of getting this sort of account.

Does anyone know of any banks/building societies that accept bad credit students and offer overdraft etc.

Thanks for your help!

    I am aware of none that advertise this! :rotfl:

    I suggest that you give one ago but if you get your application denied then do not keep trying with other banks as it will hurt your credit score each time.

    Are you sure that you NEED the overdraft? As you have made past mistakes maybe you will better off trying to go with just the regular student funding so you can avoid bad habits and getting into further debt.
