When I did survive and came out of hospital my ex-partner had all of my mail re-directed to his address 150 miles away and then soon after he disappeared. By the time I was fit to work again and found work and started to want to use my banking facilities again, I found out that I was thousands of pounds in debt to them, and naturally I questioned this, but they had put me into the hands of debt collection agencies and the debts had been sold on and sold on. I was told to go for advice to the CAB and I did this but they made things worse. Finally I found Direct Debtline who seemed to be more clued up but the debt collection people refused to deal with me via them, and so the debts mounted up as I was unable to pay them. Finally a friend of mine took me to an accountant who advised bankruptcy and reluctantly I took that path. But now I am just trying to get ban on my feet and have a mortgage, but the Cooperative Bank keep messing up and my mortgage payments have been paid late or not at all, and I desperately need a more reliable account. Sadly my ex-partner messed up my accounts with Nat West, Barclays, HSBC and TSB and they were owed a lot of money when I went bankrupt. Are there any banks I could go to for an account now?
