The Banking Code does not exist any more.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
OK, I am aware that the code per se was withdrawn in November 2009, but banks currently do use their own codes of practice under the FSA (which I know has been mooted to be abolished) and it was that kind of code I referred to.0 -

Why are you so bothered? if the DDA is being breached will it affect you? Your last remark re suicide bombers was quite abusive imo.
How was it abusive? Is the OP not acting like a martyr by ignoring every single suggestion that has been made that doesn't involve having the bank forced to discriminate everyone else in favour of her son?
The OP has an ever changing story, an emotive issue and is ignoring every helpful post that doesn't suit her agenda. I'm going to call it, if it walks like a troll and talks like a troll...0 -

I have found much of the advice on these fora useful in several different instances over the last few years, although this is my first venture into discussion. I can only assume that the bizarre responses from some posters are entirely as a result of not understanding the long-term difficulties encountered by the disabled, over and above the inherent physical and/or psychological impairment of the disability itself. Until my son became disabled I had no idea of the extent of the difficulties or the restrictions imposed on the whole family as a result of one disabled member, especially if the disability is sudden and serious.
Sorry, just bored of giving constructive advice if it gets ignored.0 -

No, not acting like a martyr, singleminded, tenacious, etc etc. If she believes, or rather, if on consideration of legal advice she is advised she has a case, then she is at liberty to pursue it.
How is levelling the playing field for one sector discriminating against another sector? that is the essence of the DDA.
Why the troll accusation?0 -

So, your advice to "get rid of the chip on her shoulder" amongst other gems, was constructive?:D
And that which could be considered constructive was not applicable to the actuality of the case (the phone account, catalogues etc) would not actually address the source of the income, which is the nub of the issue.0 -

Of course, but she hasn't take legal advice, she's come here with an ever-changing story and an unwillingness to take advice that doesn't aid her cause.How is levelling the playing field for one sector discriminating against another sector? that is the essence of the DDA.
It's not levelling the playing field. The playing field is level. At this bank if you are unemployed and are on benefits then you can not have that card. Regardless of reason. Would it be fair for the OP's son, who it appears does not actually need a credit card, would get a credit card because he is disabled, and yet someone who is unable to get a job, for whatever reason, is not? The answer is no, it would not be fair.Why the troll accusation?
Consistently ignoring constructive advice, an ever-changing story, general aloofness in posts that appear to be designed to stir up emotions... I could go on.0 -

Actually that is incredibly constructive advice. The sense of entitlement is staggering and it will only serve to get people's backs up.
That depends on which story the OP is giving you believe. Whether he has a low income but will one day be working, or that he has a higher income than two working adults, but no credit history. So it is constructive advice, just not for the story which you believe.;)0
