Ive currently got a cashminder account at the Co-Op. My DF has my bank card and controls all my money. Ive now gone overdrawn 3 times on the account in the last 12 months and they are shutting the account down.
Have just had a massive row with DF and could do with some advice about best place to open a new basic bank account. My credit is shit due to late payments all over the place, and although I was just sobbing my heart out im trying to now think of this as the opportunity to reclaim my money for myself by billing it that I need to make sure it doesn't happen as I am running out of places to bank!
So which is the best bank?
Then part 2 - saver tips for shopping / food etc as DF has said if im keeping my card myself he will no longer "share" money with me and I have to be completely responsible for myself and the 2 DSs.
My biggest expenses are food & electricity so ideas for meals that are cheap but will feed 3 of us would be brill.
cheers
