    Could you ring tax credits today, just to get the ball rolling regarding changing where the money is paid in?

    be careful with your account - a couple of yrs ago, i went overdrawn and out of the blue i got a letter off the tsb telling me they were closing my account in a fortnights time:eek:

    i've got a basic bank account now that doesn't have a debit card or cheque facility. so if there's no money in i can't go overdrawn.

    Sorry, only just seen this. I didnt think they were open at weekends?
    I shouldnt be getting charged until the end of the month anyway and im no longer overdrawn as my tax credits went in yesterday. But im going to try and open another bank account on tuesday.
    I think i do need a basic account but im such a twit, always forgetting to withdraw money and theres no cashpoint near me so a debit card is handy. Too handy probably:rolleyes:

    Excellent Idea Sarah, OP just make sure the new bank account is not associated in anyway to your exisiting bank.
