If you've read all the stuff that preceeds this posting, you will at least by now, have a flavour for the experience of one UK based schlub, who declared himself bankrupt and despite researching beforehand, is on a very steep learning curve.
Because I am having a lot of trouble opening an account with the Co op Bank, I decided to spend some time on the phone today (and what a long time that was), to see what if any, other banks had facilities for undischarged bankrupts.
Here's the results do far:
Alliance & Leicester - NO
Yorkshire Bank - NO
Halifax (read horror story below) NO
HSBC - NO
Abbey - NO
To coin the phrase made immortal by Magnus Mugnusson "I've started so I'll finish", I will in due course telephone all the remaining known banks you can find on the UK high street and ask the same question, which is "what if any, basic banking facilities do you offer to undischarged bankrupts".
Updates on this question very soon.
