    I think it's a simple question of the cost of actually gaining the business being higher than the potential profit. In addition, there's also the question of the customer being a trouble maker and not really wanted. None of this is written down anywhere, of course. :mad:
    Are you saying that any customer who is sufficiently informed to write a correction notice is not wanted because they are insufficiently compliant?

    That would be even more evil.

    Like I say, I can't prove it but there's anecdotal evidence and hearsay knocking around that applicants are routinely binned for having a notice of correction because it appears they may be troublesome and the application has to be done manually because the automated systems are unable to cope with the job.
