cashing cheques, WTcredits, self-employment and to say hi!

Hi all I'm back, after going bankrupt on march the 3rd i am slowly getting back on track. I really want to go back to being self employed but i cant find any one to give me a bank account, most of my old clients don't like giving cash and the inland revenue don't like you taking cash as its not traceable so I'm stuck.?
I do still have a paypal account and wondered if i could use that for credit cards?
I also had a good bit of luck when the nasty ISO guy took all my equipment i went mad but my uncle went to the auction house and brought it all back for me:T so now i have the equipment nothing in my name, so i am borrowing it from my uncle so to speak:rotfl: although i am playing safe and keeping a low profile as i don't want to push my luck!
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but the build up to the bankruptcy was megga and the ISO meeting was not nice but i kind of feel like they are waiting in the wings some how, just to catch me out anyone else felt this?
I am unsure what I'm really allowed to do although i have read all the bumph it all seems a little open to interpretation. Anyone else gone back to being self employed?
Any problems with WTcredits or ILRevenue?

Im a bit worried to approach them, as i owed there credit card £7000 and i took the smile bank which is owened by them to the Financial ombudsman over excessive fees.......................should i still have a go?

Mips

Worth a try - they can only say no!

I wouldn't recommend PayPal - it doesn't look professional to anyone other than Ebayers, but then that's my opinion, and they charge you for using it and it's a pain in the bum to set up!

Don't feel so low! Things can only get better now

I owed their credit card twice that, and they still gave me an account
