Hello
I have seen it asked so often on this forum but have not seem anyone post a reply mentioning this site so please forgive me if I am repeating old news.
I came across this pre-paid card comparison site by chance and it seems quite helpful. It compares all the prepaid 'credit cards' out there giving the pros,cons and charges. This may be helpful for those people stuck with basic bank accounts.

My personal favourite is The Bread pre-paid Maestro Card with a £10 setup fee, no monthly fee, no usage fees,£1.50 atm fee and you can top it up at any off license with PayPoint for a £1 fee.I think it's brilliant!

Hope someone will find this useful
Anyway check out the site and compare with some others.
