2nd chance!!!!!
6 Answers
My daughter very stupidly tried to pay a stolen cheque into an account because she was unaware it was stolen and believed the boy involved.
She was 16 at the time and her account was closed. She was not prosecuted or spoken to by police.
She is now nearly 18 and trying to open an account but is unable to because of this stupid event.
Is there a central register and will anybody give her a second chance?
No account means no job.
She has learnt her lesson and worked hard on her A levels for the past 2 years.

It sounds as if what happened has been logged on her credit reference agency records. (You can check these by requesting the records - look at websites for Experian, Equifax and Call Credit). If so, she ptobably won't get a full account as these involve a credit check.
However, she should be able to get a basic account (one with no cheque book or debit card and no overdraft facility, but wages can be paid in and direct debits/SOs set up). Most banks, and some building societies such as Nationwide, do them.

You can use the account to set up your direct debits and standing orders. Best of all, it can be run as a managed account providing peace of mind � knowing that we will work closely with you to ensure your essential day to day bills and expenses will be paid.
