I have been with the Coop bank since leaving school at 16. I am now 46.
When I had my children and no money of my own coming in, I was offered overdrafts up to £2,500 and loans aplenty.
Not so. A woman rang me, asked what my income consisted of - currently tax credits, child benefit and CSA payments from my ex - (I am still fruitlessly looking for someone who will give a job to a 46 year old woman, who has been raising her family for the past 15 years).
