Co-Op Cashminder is a popular choice.

Secure Trust or Frees are guaranteed but the former has a £12.50 a month charge.

I opened and operated accounts with Barclays and Ffrees whilst in my IVA.

Unfortunately, Ffrees doesn't currently allow direct debits (but are planning to soon). However Ffrees is particularly useful if you want a "spare" bank account that no-one else knows about - Ffrees don't report to any Credit Reference Agencies and so only you need to know about the existance of the account.
