where can we get a basic bank account? already been turned down by yorkshire bank and they are supposed to be one of the better ones!!

Hi martina, welcome to the forum, try the Co-op Cashminder account, this is excellent, quite a lot of people recommend it and I have one myself. You have internet access and its widely accepted. Good Luck

Co-op are good and I believe Barclays will do a basic account as well.

Did Yorkshire tell you why you had been turned down? It's not always a case of bad credit rating, it might be something as simple as not being on the electoral roll and if you appeal they will sometimes change their mind.

Co-Op is the best. The Cashminder account is for people on benefits and with money problems. They knew about my IVA and it was no problem.

As already said Co-op, they are really good no problems with them since opening account last October!

Natwest Step Account? x

Another one to consider. I know Lesley rates it.

I have the natwest step account and find it very good in all aspects

i have a northern rock account and its very basic but works fine for me

I've just looked at the NR current account and it says it's available to all permanent UK residents over the age of 16 - this could be very useful for anyone with poor credit.

One to add to the list? Be interesting to hear from posters as to how they got on with NR with a basic account.

Hi we have a basic account with tsb. No questions asked. Good luck x

Another good one Struzzo, thanks for that.
