Made an appointment. Thanks. Not keen when they want to discuss other savings etc.

Just say no. Clearly the rest of us don't mind fending it off. Mind you we've had lots of practice!

I wish it was always like this. Closing a matured account, having the proceeds FP'd and opening a new one, all in the same visit!

In passing I mentioned that this new one was my 30th Virgin RS. On departing I was handed a box of Cadbury's Milk Tray. I've successfully weaned myself off sugar and sweet stuff but I may have one a day Be wrong not to.

The idea of going to the bank and getting a passbook seems ridiculous these days so had put me off this regular saver. I like to do things online. However the posts on here have inspired me to join the virgin saver fun. :j

Not sure Virgin Money are any worse than any other service re: accessibility.
The digitally deprived could also argue the same about online only accounts.

Did you get your passbook on the day?
For the first time, I'm having to wait up to 4 days to collect mine. Not happy!

Does it make a difference. Ask them to post it?

Yes, as I wasted time taking the money out in advance to pay in same day.
I try to avoid sending/receiving important documents in the post.

Anyone can argue anything but it wouldn't be justifiable or tenable to equate the two! It's illegal to discriminate against the disabled, by virtue of organisations' obligations under the Equality Act 2010, but those who choose not to avail themselves of online facilities can't claim any resultant discrimination to be based on a legally protected characteristic and therefore unlawful....
