In the UK, every bank will give you a basic bank account no matter your credit score (unless there is some serious issues like fraud).
Bank staff do not ever want to give you one of these. They get no commission out of it. They will want to give you a standard account which can be upgraded to a fee paying account and give leads to loans and savings and credit cards etc etc.
Best bet is to apply online then just take in the id and signed paperwork they post to you to the bank and get a cashier to copy and certify. Tell them you have bad credit so they wont try and refer to a seller.
On the application, tell them your gonna pay your wages into this one and everything should be fine.
The only thing to worry about is making sure it's a bank that will accept payments to the wrong name (or rather not bother checking the name).
