I Love The Co-op!
and a big "thank you" to Piggy's Bankruptcy Site for the information that made this possible:
I'VE GOT A BANK ACCOUNT! Or, at least, I will have in about a week!
I read on Piggy's Blog that he had got a Cashminder account from The Co-operative Bank as a declared bankrupt. So, I gave them a ring this morning, and a very nice guy called Chris took me through the application... and then told me, "Yes, your application has been successful."
So I can get my wages! Whether I'll be able to keep them or not is another matter! And I'll even be able to have a standing order to pay my rent & council tax!
The only downside is that we don't have a branch of the Co-op Bank here, but Chris told me that pay-ins, etc, can all be done through the Post Office... and we've got one of them.
Why am I telling you this in such detail? Because I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found Piggy's site, and I'm a believer in "Paying It Forward" - meaning that if you are in the same position (declared bankrupt, but still needing an account for your wages to be paid into), and find this post while doing a search with Google or something, then maybe you'll read it and give the Co-op a shot.
I don't guarantee that they'll say "Yes", but it's got to be worth a try!
