trouble getting a bank account

[NickFitz]

I am being I know but I have to ask ... NF: this is a funny time of day for you to post. Are you just getting up or finally going to bed?

I've spent much of the day reading through some open source code from a researcher in Sony's Playstation team, with occasional dips into somebody else's PhD thesis

With half-an-ear on the Budget earlier, of course.

So not gone to bed yet, then?

I checked & re-laid out a neighbour's PhD thesis on racism in the USA. It was a fascinating, well-written and thoughtingful read. Not what I expected at all. But then realised you have to be clever to do a PhD and being able to present an argument in a coherent way is a requirement.

He went on to be a teacher. I wonder if that means he has wasted a PhD or if he is inspiring a new generation?

I had to suspend paymnts on car loan and credit cards.
I got a few deaults as a result.
My company was dissolve becasue it oweb the cown more than it had in the bank
Now I am struggling t get a bank account for a new company.
Any advice appreciated

I think it's jolly good the banks are refusing people these days. Not nice for you, obviously, but running a company is not a game - if you mess up, there are consequences.

opening bank account

NatWest and RBS both have a 'Foundations Account' for directors or self-employed people who might be turned down elsewhere.

It may help to go under an umbrella for a while, until you can straighten things out.
