I hope the spag bol and beer were nice. What's a COA? Well done on all that hard work. Just keep swimming. I hope you have lots of good news from all that chasing.

Look, it as less than 3 years ago that we moved and I am still having packing trauma flashbacks, so absolutely, categorically and definitively no! 😂
Do you actually have to move everything on "moving day" or will you have some crossover?

COA is indeed change of address. Santander absolutely doing my head in insisting I verify my identity before changing my address then their app being utterly unable to scan my passport.
Every other bank it was a five second job but there always has to be some issue with Santander
We need to move everything on moving day @EssexHebridean

Sant were a PITA - ask whether you can go into a branch with ID docs with the new address and do it that way PiP - that as what I did in the end IIRC.
