easyest bank to get an account with

[Daave]

i have a pretty bad credit score, i was just wondering if anyone knew of a reputable-ish bank i could get a debit card and maybe a small overdraft with?

barclays is a no no, and halifax, but are there any more leaneant banks around?

There's a list of parachute accounts on http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/

Anyone that performs a credit check will be a no-no.
This'll probably sound cheeky but if you've a bad credit score it's likely to be because you haven't handled credit perfectly well in the past. With that history, why would a bank take the risk of giving you more credit now?

try the co-op cashminder account. i have the same problem but they accepted me. it doesnt give an overdraft but you can set up standing orders and direct debits. the also give you a visa electron card which is just a basic debti card but is still quite useful
