Hi there n a warm welcome to the forum.

As you and your husband are in IVA - your daughter is not part of that. So therefore your daughter should be able to go anyway as she will be not linked to your IVA.
As Im not an expert Im sure others will advise you further.

PS: sorry by link crashed on posting so this may appear twice.[:)]

Final IVA payment made in April 2013, never ever thought we could do it or get through it but we did! X

As long as your daughter has no financial dealings with you, then she can open a bank account.

Get her to try the Co-op. A basic account can be opened over the phone or in a branch.

We are both in an IVA and daughter has been able to open a full bank account with Barclays (who were one of my creditors) change mobile phone provider, get car finance and a credit card.

Hi,
I'm in an IVA and opened a Step Account with Natwest with no problems. It's basic with no cheque book but a visa debit card and direct debits. Went in branch and opened it or, obviously, it can be done online.
Good luck!
IVA started Sept 09. Glad to be on the way to being debt free

I would 2nd that. We are with Natwest, and they are 1st class. Couple that with the fact they are opening for longer, and on Saturdays, makes it the ideal choice for us.

Have to say that daughter wasn't impressed with Natwest as they allowed her to open an account but then wouldn't upgrade it when they said they would.

I'm not looking for an upgrade so won't bother me, I have a full Smile account but still prefer the basic Natwest account. x
