Hi I don't owe the bank any money only other credit cards so do you think I would be able to keep my current bank account. I live in the country a mile from a bus stop and 8 miles from the nearest bank and my state pension is paid into this account. Thanks |

Hello Sue,
An interesting question and one that affects all of that are BR and particularly those who live in rural areas.
I do not know if it assists, my wife and I had a number of accounts before I petitioned for Br - most of them were associated with the businesses we had.
There was one joint account that my wife and I had with Barclays - they allowed Sue (my wife) to take the account into her sole name - although she does not use it...
I opened a Coop cashminder account they are great... Beter than any bank I have ever known and I intend to stay with them after BR - my wife also opened a Coop account (not that she needed to) - but I think she and I wanted to break from the previous regime.
As has been said by Skippy Mick and Charlie a Coop account is a good option (They are very BR friendly) and then use the ;pcal Post Office (free) or simply approach the bank and see what they say - some are human - or so I have been told!
Whatever you do lots of luck and I hope that 2010 is a better year for you and yours, Richard

It's down to the bank whether you can keep your account once you are made BR. I had a full account with Lloyds and they allowed me to keep it.
If you had a full account you would need to have the overdraft taken off, and hand the chequebook to the OR, but I see no reason you couldn't keep it if the bank were happy.
Tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday is history, today is the present, a gift to make the most of.

Hi is there a post office near you, you can use this with a coop account for free and you get a visa electron debit card |

It depends what type of account it is. If it is a basic account, ie: no cheque book or overdraft then possibly, if it is any other type then no.
As far as I am aware the only 2 types of accounts for BR`s are the Coop Cashminder and Barclays basic account.
