| I was originally told (on the phone) that I'd be able to stay with NatWest after BR, as long as I downgrade to a Step Account. However, one month on, and still no frozen account or reply from my letters, I decided to pop into my local branch. I was told in no un-certain terms that NatWest will not allow me a bank account of any sorts. |

Hi Zamfir
I was told that by my local branch but i still managed to open a first reserve savings account.
The manager said to me not to send them a copy of my BR then the account should be fine.
He also said to wait and see.
The account is still open at present but i dont know how long for.
Good luck with it all.

Hi zamfir
did you write off any debts to Halifax or RBoS when BR?
This could be the reason as I believe they are all part of the same group.

Hi all, HBOS and RBS were not creditors. I used to have a RBS credit card, but paid that off/shut it years ago.
The OR sent NatWest a letter (as the Current Account was listed on the SoA), but as I heard so many conflicting stories about their policy, I opened a Cashminder (for my wages) on the day of BR. |

Hi Zamfir,
Regrettably the decision on whether to allow you to maintain the account (even if the OR has declared they have no interest in it) is entirely at the bank's discretion.
