I'm not looking for any fancy services like chequebooks, overdrafts or debit cards
just an account I can pay my wages into and have Direct Debits so I can get a phone line and have proper internet instead of using my mobile phone.

My debts aren't paid off - far too poor currently to even think about that. The older debts are more than five years ago.

I'm also having a meeting with their business manager to talk about opening a charity account, which is potentially thousands of pounds a year through their books, which might help but not sure.

I'm not blind to the fact I have messed up but to have something as simple as broadband I need a current account. Simple as that.
