Right - so CASS only works on new accounts - not transfers ?
But just what sort of account do you have with BOS. We are taking it that it is a current account. Savings accounts can not be switched.
I wonder if due to you blocking internet access that it has put a block on your account. Can be done as a security measure if wrong details are used too many times. They think it's a fraudster trying it on.
Sadly the danger of using the complaints email for other things may see it either being deleted as not a complaint, or passed to the team that deal with the issue who will most likely try to call you.
Do you not have a trusted 3rd party that can call them while you are there and get you through security. Other than that it is going to a branch. Which they may still require to prove identity.

But you are not complaining.
People abuse the complaints email address. So some banks make a policy decision that if not a complaint it is deleted or sent to the team that deals with the situation.
While I feel you have a issue, no matter what you do have to do something to help yourself. Clearly you can get out and about. Is there no one that can assist getting you to a branch? Or a support worker that can help you.
>>Textphone and web chat If you have a Textphone, you can call us on any of our phone numbers using the Text Relay Service. This allows you to type your conversation – simply dial 18001 and then the standard telephone number. Web chat is being introduced across a number of our websites.

If you do not have this system I suggest you look at getting it sorted. I have spoken to people using this and it will get things sorted.Life in the slow lane0 -
Interesting that this is the same poster who was vehemently complaining that the BBC was showing programmes with signing for the deaf which spoilt it for him. One rule for one... one for the other I suppose.
One only needs to look at some of the very long threads on the benefits boards to see that sometimes you simply cannot help those who will not help themselves.1 -

Can say that about any bank account these days.
If you want your issue resolving then, you are going to have to help yourself.
You can't sit there claiming the disability card all the time.
I have no idea of just what your disability is, but it appears from other posters that you have posted before about what you have,
As has been said BOS offer various options that can sort your problem. You just need to use the correct ones. Email is insecure and anyone can pose as a customer. Social media again is insecure and then requires to go to direct message. But if your account has been locked due to to many incorrect attempts to login. Then most banks policies is you need to prove your identity to unlock it.
That maybe via a branch visit & ID, or sending ID in to them.Life in the slow lane1 -
My bank account is online too but occasionally a branch visit is required for one reason or another.50Twuncle said:LABMAN said:

This thread has 49 replies over the space of 3 days. In that time you could have put your mobility scooter in your car and drove to the bank and then it's job done. Sometimes a visit to the bank is needed. If you're not in bed 24/7 because of a health condition then i don't see what the problem is. You always seem to make things more complicated that they really need to be...
