re question for natwest peeps

[blinkyblinkyblonk]

hi im normally in the halifax bank action group but i just wanted to know if anyone in the natwest action group could answer a question for me

 

i am in the process of opening a basic account with the natwest, i applied online and was accepted in principle, i had the documents through today and they want bank statements no less than 3 months old. now i am on benefits not a problem but with the halifax i am well over my overdraft because of them taking constant charges and taking my benefit money, do you think i will blow my chance of having a basic bank account because ive gone way over with my overdraft with the halifax and it will show on the statements, i may have to ring them and ask them but i thought i might just try here first just in case anybody was in the same boat or in the know

 

thanks very much if you can help me that would be much appreciated.

You could always remove the bottom bit which shows your balance, they are simply asking for proof of address by asking for a previous bank statement.

Cakey is correct, just take a big thick black marker to all the bits you aren't happy for them to see, you will only need to send one page with the address and a/c number anyway.
