Have you paid your debt to the bank(s) where you wrote bad checks?  If not, do so first.  If so, request that they issue you a statement on bank letterhead that you have paid all debts to them.  With that letter, banks will be more willing to make an exception.  Without it, it won't be likely.

Call your bank and find out. Or check if they have a web site and look into it.

Some retail and gasoline credit cards are not revolving (do not carry a monthly balance) and sometimes are easier to obtain than regular cards. Over time they can help establish history. If you don't have a checking account, open one. You have very little credibility with lenders if you don't have at least a checking account and preferably a savings account as well. Just as importantly, be sure not to overdraw your bank account. Bouncing checks sends a signal to potential lenders that you can't manage your daily finances and are therefore not a good credit risk.

no...if it's the same bank they won't let you open one, and if you go to another bank they will search for other accounts in your name, and the status of them. Frozen accounts and accounts in the neg are red flagged. No bank will let you open an account if you have another account that's frozen.

Go to the bank that you have a checking account with.

I would try the majot international banks such as Standard Chartered or HSBC. They are most likely to do something like what you want as they probably operate in your country of origin/citizenship and therefore they can verify your details much better.

Im afraid you are basically out of luck, unless you go to a check cashing place, actually you can go to two of them and then get up to your ears in quickie debt.

Call your bank, they have copies of all checks written and deposited. They should be able to get if for you quickly and with minimum effort.

See if you can find a shop which will cash third party cheques.  I can't help more than that as I don't live in London.  Apart from that, open an account and get yourself a hole-in-the-wall card.

I see no reason why you should not have their contact information and be able to contact them.  A simple solution would be change your checking account and wait for them to get in contact with you, which I am sure they will do when their next attempt to debit the account fails.

I used to work at USBank and they have an account called SEcond Chance Checking.  They can open an account as long as you don't owe more than $200 to Chex Systems. I would give them a call.

You can ask for counter-cheque from them, 3 or 4 cheques at a time. they have to give it to you. Its free~\n\nIts just another way to get chqs, if you don't need styling
