How to open a British bank account while living overseas?
Hi, I'm a British Citizen who currently lives in Korea. I'd like to open a British bank account, but not sure if I can without going into a branch in person and signing forms, etc. Is it possible to do this while living overseas and if so, what bank would you reccomend. I'd like to get a Visa card with the account and more importantly, the ability to withdraw money from other countries. I travel a lot. Thanks for any help. graeme.

Answer 1 :
If you've lived in the UK before, it may be possible to open a new account or re-open your old account with the bank you were with before. However, due to Money Laundering Legislation, you need to provide documentation before opening an account and most importantly, you need a registered address in the UK and proof that you live at that address. You could try opening a HSBC Account in South Korea and use that until you get back to the U.K. HSBC is the world's largest banking group and I believe you can access your account from anywhere in the world with them. However, you should double check that before going ahead with it. At the very least, you will be able t withdraw money from Cashpoints with a HSBC Account. An offshore bank account is another option, but only really viable if you're quite wealthy.
Answer 2 :
There is an account called the HSBC Plus account. There is a subscription fee for this account but, you get lots of benefits a visa card which you would like, and you get free ATM withdrawals abroad. Theres no harm in having a look.
Answer 3 :
You'll either need to go into a branch in the UK with some ID e.g passport and driving licence. They will also need proof of address. You can sign up for an account online but if you do this you will have to send them your original ID documents through the post, you will not be able to photocopy them. So then there is the risk of them going missing. Banks are very strict when opening accounts so these are the only ways I am afraid.
Answer 4 :
If there is a Branch of British bank in Korea approach them: Or write to you British Bank to send a application to open a "non-resident account" for a British national: they will guide you: OR you can get the details in the British banks website: or ask at http://www.bba.org.uk/bba/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=103&a=143

Place in the /Applications folder, which is shared by all users. Just make sure that it's not in your home folder.
Answer 2 :
In OSX there is a "Shared" folder in you Users folder. Anything placed in this folder becomes public property and can be accessed by all account users (assuming that you have placed access restrictions to applications on other users).

How can I restore a user account/documents folder after reinstalling Windows XP Home Edition?
How can I restore a user account/documents folder after reinstalling Windows XP Home Edition?
There were 2 user accounts on my PC before a forced windows reinstall. Both were administrator. One is visible under documents and settings, and can be explored. The other (the one I need to restore or at least access) is saying 'access denied'. I have alot of important documents in this user account. How can I access it? I know the files are still there as they show up during virus scans.

Answer 1 :
you can try to open up your control panel . choose `Administrative tools . then select `Computor management , then `Local user and groups',. then click on user,, under groups... you shouls now have up all the details of who is administrator and who is users etc and , by right clicking on them you should be able to find out what their properties are set up as , and from there be able to change a setting or two. Of course you will need to know pevios passwords set to change admin rights .
Answer 2 :
You must have ownership of a protected folder in order to access it. you can access the folder by taking ownership. To take ownership of a folder: Right-click the folder that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties. Click the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one appears). Click Advanced, and then click the Owner tab. In the Name list, click your user name, or click Administrator if you are logged in as Administrator, or click the Administrators group. If you want to take ownership of the contents of the folder, select the Replace owner on subcontainers and objects check box. Click OK, and then click Yes when you receive the following message: You do not have permission to read the contents of directory folder name. Do you want to replace the directory permissions with permissions granting you Full Control? All permissions will be replaced if you click Yes. Note folder name is the name of the folder that you want to take ownership of. Click OK, and then reapply the permissions and security settings that you want for the folder and its contents. Hope this helps.

Answer 1 :
It should be in your account about 10 minutes after the end of the race, but will take longer if there is a stewards enquiry. It will take 2-3 working days (perhaps a bit longer) for a withdrawal to appear in your bank account.
Answer 2 :
When I came accros with this kind of problem i googled aroudn and found this, please refer to this site http://online-recreation.notlong.com/AAVhOIy
Answer 3 :
when you withdraw winnings, it withdraws to your Ladbrokes Sportsbook account which is effectively the same as your casino account (same user, same password and set up transparently when you register at the casino). This means you then have to do a second stage withdrawal to process the payment, else it stays in limbo for you to bet with. Thankfully this is still all done via the casino software. Additionally, if you want to change the deposit option from a card to NETeller for example, you have to logon via the Ladbrokes website to change it. Also note, that you can only withdraw to the same method you deposited with (laws regulating money laundering).
