Anyone have bank account knowledge help!

patrickscorp

I know my problem that they dont offer me a flex account because I have been living in my permanent address just one year. It need to be 3 or more in the UK . Can I tell them my grandmother address for the previous address but I don't have prove that I have lived there before because I haven't open bank account or doing any self payment from that address. What can I do ?

PS I have registered online which it offered me a flex account already but It said that in 5 working days they will contact me for prove of id and said that may be request prove of previous address which I don't have one.

Did you live at your grandmother's address?

If not, you may be committing fraud. Also, the reason they want a previous address is so they can find your credit history. If you haven't been living there there will be no history so you'd probably be declined.

Don't lie, ever! end of story, especially when obtaining bank accounts, credit etc, because if your deception is found out, you will find yourself with a criminal record, as financial institutions arent messing about anymore, they are sending clear messages to people 'ON OUR TERMS'

They are generally fair enough terms anyway, as they are there for the protection of everyones money.

As an aside, I applied for the same bank account online on Friday night, and it looked like i had been approved for a debit card, though I've not had anything else through as yet.

I'm going to send this to the current accounts section.

Because it's not really to do with matched betting.
