Sharing from experiences of dealing with debt
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.

Has it been at least 6 years from the start of his IVA and have his credit files cleared up ? Some banks are more 'difficult' than others : Avoid HSBC and First Direct.
Co-Op gave me a full account when my credit file cleared at the 6 year mark.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.
IVA Completed 23rd July 2013 .... C.C. 10th January 2014
Yes it will be 7 years in September his credit is all fine now he probably just tried a bit too soon after IVA ended so now is a bit nervous about approaching any banks
