Hi,
I am currently looking to open a current account.
In September of last year I was made bankrupt, I have jus been discharged early after 7 months. I am now wanting to open a new bank account. I havent had a bank account since declaring bankruptcy.
Am jus wondering if anyone has any advice on some of the best banks/building societys to look for..
And also, what ID do banks usually require for opening new accounts as I cant find my birth certificate anywhere and my passport ran out 2/3 years ago ahh! lol

Try Citibank (https://www.citibank.co.uk), they're quite lenient on people with history.0

Have you asked on the Debt Free Wannabee or Bankruptcy and living with it boards? They are more likely to be able to help you.I'm not cynical I'm realistic

You can get a new birth certificate from here: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
I have used them a couple of times, good service. There are other websites but they are just middle men and charge more.Kavanne
