Bankruptcy

[missylou]

I have just been declared bankrupt and i would like to know which banks will allow me to open an account with them... Anyone know?

Try the Nationwide and the Co-op.

They may accept undischarged bankrupts, but not is there is a history of fraud.

Telephone them in the first instance - good luck!

Also try Halifax or Alliance and Leicester. They may not want to give you a cheque book though.

Why where u declared bankcrupt if u dont mind me asking i just cannot understand how people can

[hotmumma]

Nationwide will. I am a discharged bankrupt and they accepted me. They wont let you have a cheque book though. I have a basic account with direct debit facilities, and a cash card. Hope this helps!
