Hi annie.

Is it a permanent suspension or temporary?

Three accounts we think are worth a look are described at:

https://www.trust-deed.co.uk/bank-accounts.html

i dont know the bank have suspended them but ive had no correspondance from them as to why

Do you owe them any money?

Could you tell us what type of account it is?

Was there much money in the account?

Sometimes this might be a temporary problem and a switch might not be required.

I got a basic bank account with the Royal Bank at the beginning of my trust deed. They were extremely helpful. My trust deed ended in 2009 and they then upgraded the account and have since upgraded it again. My previous bank was Lloyds TSB, who suspended my account without warning. Now, I wouldn't go back to them if I won the lottery lol.
Good luck in getting your account sorted out/changed.

mycashplus, guaranteed acceptance, no credit checks

If you speak to your trustee then they may be able to get the account unblocked for you.

Pity your were not warned this could happen. When are the child allowance and tax credits due to go in,because it can take a while for the benefits people to swap account details if you do open a new account.

thanks for all the replies i had a savings account that my child benefit gets paid into a royalties gold that tax credits go into with a £200 overdraft that ive used and a basic joint account . i hadnt been leaving money in them just in case ive spoken with tax credits who have taken my husbands bank details and also the child benefit centre who say the payments should be redirected after this weeks but dont know what to do about dd etc that come out of my accont

Your account may have just been suspended temporary and transfered to there accounts team. when i contacted royal bank about what would happen with my current account if i entered sequestration. I was told when they are informed weather you owe them money or not they transfer the account to there accounts team to assess if you are a risk to continue as a customer. They can take weeks to determine in there views if they can continue to have the person as a customer and they dont necessarily have to inform you right away but will do eventually by post. I wasn't impressed by that. I went and opened a basic account with Barclays which came with a debit card, i have full direct debit options and so on just like a normal account. i explained the situation to the lady and she made an appointment to open an account for me, it is the perfect account for anyone entering into sequestration or has allready entered into sequestration as thats what its created for.
