    I really hope you get this sorted out. This is one of the funniest threads I've read for a good while though! :p

    Can I recommend you avoid HB0S too - They accept you, give you cards and lull you into a false state of security. Later, on a mysterious date only know to them, they begin to randomly change small details on your account to mess with your head! Apparently I have now changed my middle name (twice!) and most recently moved to the other end of my street! :rotfl:

    Best avoid Br!tish Gas too - apparently neither my gas meter nor my postal address exist there! :wall: The only thing we agree on is how much Gas actually I use! Thank god for online billing! :rotfl:

    :think: Actually that may explain a few things! :rotfl:

    Oooh this is so funny :D
    And I had the same experience on the phone when I tried to get online access for my online-only savers account.

    *please input your customer number*
    I managed to get this over the phone before, so it was ok
    *now please input your code*
    I don't have a code!!!
    The trick was to push random numbers and # and * several times, until the phone line goes crazy and sends your call to a real person :D

    Eventually I just gave up trying to get my online access and went to a branch to close the account.
    The guy said "Oh, but I can call the service and they will send you the code"
    "No thanks - that's what the last 4 calls told me and I never got anything".....
    Being brave is going after your dreams head on
