Have you tried the Co-op? They do a basic Cashminder account with a Visa Electron debit card. You can also try Nationwide but you will need to apply in the branch. They don't have a debit card, but other than that are very good. I think Barclays also have a basic account

Hi lha,

You could also try natwest - step account or abbey with a cash card.

meant to say, i've just recently set up an account with nationwide, as I don't want to re-direct any direct debits, it might be worth having a chat them. thank you both for your help.

Natwest will not allow undischarged bankrupts to open an account. They have also been known to close the basic account of people who have gone BR.
