I am planning to contact an IP with the intention of starting the IVA process. I want to open an account with the Co-operative Bank - does MBNA have any connection to them?
No, you are fine to open an account with the Co-op.
I would look at several IP's before making a decision. Visit www.iva.com for a list of companies and reviews. You will receive free and impartial advice as to all the options open to you and the best way forward for your circumstances.

Hi Pat.gr, welcome to the forum, please follow Jan's link and take the excellent advice, this way you can choose someone to act for you with whom you feel totally comfortable. All the best.
IVA final payment left the bank on the 26th January 2013...looking forward to a debt free future.
good luck pat hope youve got sorted since your post.
dont forget to use this place as much as you need.
ive chewed the ears off these guys for the past year[:p]
and would be in a much poorer place without them. please keep posting and let us know youre ok x
hi pat pre iva you should be able to open a account with the coop online,otherwise give them a ring thats what i did and found them very nice to talk too.
The only thing I don't like about about the co-op account as compared to the Nat West is that the internet banking with the co-op doesn't show up POS transactions as soon as they occur, you have to wait for them to show up and thus remember what you have spent and what is left in the account!
7 year IVA completed in December 2016 - there is light at the end of that tunnel
Good news, hopefully your IVA application will be just as successful!
