Poor credit in past, where to save now

  • Poor history here too - but opened a Nationwide Flexdirect on line no problem (but selected £0 overdraft and no cheque book) pays 5% on credit balance up to 2.5K for the first year and makes you eligible for their flexclusive regular saver for upto £500 per month at 5% for 12 mths
    Santander, 1st Direct and Tesco all said no due to poor history.


    Was just looking at Santander but Nationwide sounds like a better chance. Really useful, thanks a bunch.

    No go :(


    I know I've really messed up in the past but you would think someone would want our money in their bank. Really feel like a total loser now :(:(
