hi, i am in same position as u, even whilst bancrupt nationwide building society still allowed me to have an account... u can have wages paid into it or child benefit etc, and can have direct debits going out of it etc... u will not be given cheque book or debit card but will have a atm machine card, to withdraw from as long as u have funds in t he account... u need to ask for a flexaccount SAY U WANT THE ACCOUNT THAT DOES NOT NEED CREDIT SCORING.. i say that boldly as i have given 2 other people this information and both cases the clerks went ahead and tried to get them a different account, only to be told they couldnt. so ask for the non credit scoring account, and u should be ok ..
