I was trying to be serious, i've heard of one that you pay upfront

A lot of banks may offer you a Solo card instead of a Maestro (new name for Switch) or Visa Delta.

This will not let you go overdrawn (as a traditional debit card will).

You could try Nationwide Building Society. While I don't have the credit issues you seem to have, in my experience they're the most people-friendly of the big banking institutions and might be more understanding of your problems.

You might try Capital One. I believe they may do a credit card with a low limit where you pay up front.

Do you want a debit card or a credit card? - Natwest do a Step Account that gives you a debit card and DD facility, but no overdraft. For credit Cards, go to Capital one or Vanquis. The two credit card companies are an absolute rip off though - only get one if you are sure that you are able to pay the balance every month as the rates are really high - also look out for the fact that they try and get you to make late payments - theey nevare make it easy to pay.
Hope this helps.

Halifax do a Basic Bank Account that provides you with a visa electron debit card. They also allow standing orders/direct debits on the account and online banking. But as with the above mentioned Natwest step account they do not issue over drafts on the account
