Hi All,

Just thought I would give you an update - Thanks for all your advise of this. I managed to get an abbey savings account today.

Many Thanks for everybodys help

I know it doesnt make sense does it? You would think I was after a loan not trying to save abit of money!!! All the ones I have tried have done credit checks, thats what they have told me, which is why they decline me. I know my credit is bad - but for a savings account it seems abit extreme!

Thanks I will try Abbey - cant remember if I have tried them in the past. Did you have this much trouble getting one??

Ive been in my IVA agreement for nearly 3 years now. The chances of me getting a mortgage any time soon are very slim but I want to start saving - Im talking £5-£10 per month but No banks will give me a savings account - not even my own bank!! You woud think I was after a 10k loan the way they act. ...

Hi,

I need a bit of advice please. I have had my IVA since may 2006 and am looking for a mortgage next year. Because I have an IVA can I still get a mortgage? If so can anybody recommend any companies that approve IVA's.

Many Thanks

Kath
