Hi all,
Sorry if you've already answered this before.

I went into Halifax this morning to pay a cheque into my ISA savings account. The lady said that she wasn't even sure that I am allowed to have an account as I'm in an 'agreement'. She told me to go to the service desk, but I didn't have time to so said I would return later.

At the moment I have a cashplus account and I'm wanting a 'real' bank account. I got that one in desperation thinking I wasn't able to have a 'normal account'.

I need a new bank account - which is the best one??

Also, I have £8 in my savings account with Halifax - what's the chances of being able to withdraw it... They are included in my IVA.

Thanks

You should be able to withdraw that money - they can't touch it no you're in an IVA.

Halifax were simlarly unsympathetic with me as well!!

Try the Co-op for their cashminder account - do it in branch or over the phone and they are very IVA friendly and Barclays are ok as well.

I'm with natwest and they've always been fine with me.
