bank accounts questions please
1) does anyone know if any banks offer a bank account with a debit card after a DRO
2) if i go with another bank before my DRO and get a debit card do i still need to tell them after my DRO has gone through and if so will i likely be downgraded to a bog-standard cash card even if i had no debt with them?
thanks.

Nationwide Flex Basic is your best option. Contactless Visa Debit card. They will tolerate insolvency.0

Get your bank account sorted pre-DRO

As long as you are not overdrawn (and have less than £1k of 'assets') the account is not mentioned in the DRO application.
Only Nat West (AFAIK) trawl the register and downgrade people.
P.S. Standard rules apply - don't have an account with anyone you owe money to0 -
fatbelly you are a godsend to this site, thanks.0
