Hi All,
I am working to lower my debt I still have a long way to go and have an active CCJ against my name.
I recently applied for a NatWest current account and to my surprise I have been accepted, after being rejected from a couple other banks.
All is well, I am just awaiting my card then I am set. I have my account number and sort code and access to online banking to which it asked me if I wanted to open a savers account I clicked yes and the form pre-populates and this is where I have realised a mistake, it's got me down as Miss rather than Mr.
So I am guessing my card is going to be in the title of Miss too.
What makes this even more odd is I had to confirm my ID by way of photographing my driving licence too which clearly says Mr and I definitely wasn't in my weekend gear in my photo either!
So do I tell them and risk them closing the account, or could I just leave it would it cause any issues? I could always get the chop down below would save me paying a monthly account fee elsewhere.

Tell them, saves any problems further on. If they close it you can always go for a basic account somewhere.
