Hi Stu

I went bankrupt in October 08 and have a Tuxedo and Virgin prepaid card.

The Tuxedo prepaid I use on a regular basis and you can I get your wages paid onto it.

You will need to pay £4.95 per month for full use of the card but it is well worth it.

To get you wages paid onto the card you have to give the payee all the bank details for tuxedo, and most importantly your tuxedo account number under reference so they know which account to pay the money into.

You can set up direct debits and standing orders with tuxedo, so I feel it is more flexible than the Virgin card.

See the website for more details http://www.tuxedo-eccount.co.uk/

All the best

I agree with debtrider. I have tuxedo and cashplus pre paid cards. Never used the cashplus one as I find the tuxedo one is very good. It also allows you to control things online with ease.
