Are there other options to get a checking account if have a bad record?

because of mistakes, my record for the bank credit reports isn't good and can't open a checking anywhere. this makes it more difficult to cash checks and such. are there other options or financial institutions with checking that will give second chances? any helpful tips are appreciated.

well depending on how bad your record is and if you have cleared up things with the institutions you have problems with some places might be willing to work with you. I know places might allow you to have a savings account and if your savings account stays in good standings for a period of time they may let you open a checking with some stipulations, like no debit card for 6 months or only checks. It depends which institution you choose and how bad your record is.
