Re: Opening a UK Bank Account
Quite right JDR.
I got an idea.
You guys who think the rest of us are wrong, as you have successfully opened account in UK whilst you were not residents there, why don't you call the banks, give them your account numbers and tell them you were not resident when you opened the accounts. Then get back to us tell us if you still have the accounts.
I mean what have you got to loose, if you are right.
(PS I don't really expect you to do that of course)

Santander know I am not a UK resident.
In fact, all I had to do was take in utility bills and Bank account statement from Spain to make things OK
