How to prove address with Halifax Bank account

INT1

As per title really, I need to prove my address to another financial issuer.
I get my Halifax Reward account statements on a ad hoc basis through the post, the last one i got I shred and it had the old address on it anyway.
As I recently moved and not received a ststement since then reflecting the new address, I called the bank and asked for another statement to be sent out, they want £5 for it and then takes 7-10 days!
I asked if i could go to branch and they could print something out, they said no.
Any other ideas how to get around this?
Even if I Paid for a copy statement, it would still have the old address on it and I don't see why I should pay so I can prove my address!
I did them the favour of opting paperless on anything I can so saving them money in the long run.

utility bill?
council tax bill?0 -
As you have already pointed out, a copy statement will just have your old address on it.
Could you use any other form of ID for example driving license or utility bill?0 -
They are asking for an utility bill too, which I can supply.
I just gave them my bank details for the finance and they asking for proof of bank. I may see if natwest are more helpful in supplying me with something.

If you change your address with Halifax and then order a copy statement, then it will have your new address on it.0 -
Ok, may give that a try, I thought that the copy statement would reflect the address at the time the statement is produced.0
