I don't know if they definitely will do it. I'll see if I can find the post and bump it up for you.

If Natwest are doing this, I would presume they are doing it the same way as HSBC - trawling through the insolvency service register.

I would think that if Natwest are going to close your account they would have to give you 30 days notice at least.

[Skippy]

Anyone can look at the insolvency register, but very few people even know it exists. It's on the insolvency website - www.insolvency.gov.uk

Is ThinkBanking the only one that offers a Maestro card, because I sometimes need to pay for things online. Thanks.

[Skippy]

I don't think anyone else offers a Maestro, although I haven't come across any major problems with my Co-op Visa Electron when I've bought stuff online.

Hi Skippy, do you think that the Co-op would give me an account even though they are one of my creditors being included in my BR? Long shot I know!

No - and don't even try it or you are likely to lose your first month's wages!

I've also got a Virgin pre paid card in case the Electron one isn't accepted. It cost £9.95 and you pay 2.95% fee when you use it. I only use it occasionally so it might be cheaper than my other pre paid card which costs £1 per use.

Thanks for the warning Melanie!!! Seems like Think Banking are my only option because I think most of the banks that allow undischarged bankrupts are among my creditors!!! Ho hum....

[Skippy]

The high street banks who accept undischarged bankrupts are:

Co-op
Abbey
Barclays
Nationwide
