It can be hard to open a checking account if you have had a bankruptcy court judgment or bad credit against you. Some banks like NatWest will let you open a Step Account where they track your record for a period of time, then let you move up to a regular account with checking.

What bank will give you a bank account if your credit is terrible?

Getting products like cheque books, overdraft or credit card or loans might be the difficult part. Getting an account should not be much of a fuss.

Why is the balance as per bank statement on the bank reconciliation statement a credit if its a favorable balance but in the bank account the credit means you owe the bank money?

The Debit and Credit on a bank statement reflect the Bank's accounting records, not yours. So when you deposit money into your account, the bank owes you that money to you - it is a liability for them, therefore a credit entry. Similarly, if they charge you a bank fee, it reduces their liability to you, so they would Debit your account (on their books) and Credit an Income account.
