How can I open a new bank account if I have bad credit?

Most banks have a basic bank account which you should be able to open even if you have bad credit.
Basic bank accounts have no credit or overdraft facility, but offer direct debt, standing order and access to cash machine facilities.

More information on basic bank accounts can be found on the Financial Services Authority (FSA) website.
