I read it on another forum and apparently someone had read somewhere that N/Wide are stopping giving accounts to bankrupts because they have had to open so many that they don't have the staff to cope with it, and they are fed up with the other banks not doing their bit.
Thye didn't mention any plans to close accounts that are already open so fingers crossed it'll be ok. I might give them a ring in the week and ask.
I do think it's about times that the government made it illegal for banks to refuse anyone a basic account (unless they are a creditor of course!). I can understand that it won't be an all singing all dancing account, but surely everyone should be entitled to a basic bank account?
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is the present - a gift to make the most of.
