Strange for charter to come back with below market heading rates

if they amassed enough money last week why come in just below leading rates

Some drop below top of table best buys or withdraw products due to CS being inundated with queries

If anyone else here has the problems I have opening accounts, then avoid FirstSave, as like some others, it won't let me join as I don't have photo ID.

I was thinking about that after you'd asked, as I've just opened a FirstSave fix and it asked for driving licence or passport details - even though it said it was optional, I wondered if it would make a difference if you didn't supply the details.

First Save only asks for a driving licence or passport number, nothing more…can’t be many people these days who don’t have one of these

I put in my expired passport details, but it was rejected.

There are a lot of reasons why people don't or can't have them.  I had to buy a passport just because it was proving so problematic for me not having one and I don't drive - largely when I was acting as an Attorney, then executor.  

I wonder how this would fare against the equality act - if for example, you were disabled in a way that might prevent travel or driving, but would prevent you accessing financial and other services and being treated less favourably than others.

You don't have to travel to get a passport.
