we were with first direct a side of HSBC and they gave us 14 days notice to close our account - it is advisable for him to open a new account somewhere and have his wages paid into that and all DD / SO come from that account - Co-Op and halifax have given us there basic accounts and we applied on line for both

HSBC are well known for closing bank accounts of those in an IVA. They trawl the Insolvency Register.

Co-op are a good bank to use.

As others have said it's normal practice for the HSBC.

Good luck with your creditors meeting on the 8th, let us know how it goes won't you ? x

Good luck with your creditors meeting. I know how you feel. Sign up to bank that you have no credit with. No overdraft allowed but no problems. Hope it all goes well.xx

Yeah I can't speak highly enough of the Co-Op (Wish more banks were ran ethically!)
