Lol, we are taking care of my wife's parents who both have dementia and it's been a royal pain in the ass trying to do anything and everything online with them. I understand the need for the security, but when you have to work around it to go to benefits and such....WOW is it a PITA.Some of this security just gets too much these days for ordinary home machines e.g rediculous multi request for confirmation via codes that are sent to phones etc (and never arrive) when you do online shopping etc -- It's bonkers, annoying etc -- When security gets this rediculous people just try and avoid the whole thing -- in any case who these days keeps any sort of sizeable sum of money in a current bank account now -- I can understand this for businesses etc but home users ??? .
What's 99% worse is the nonsense of dealing with customer services when you always seem to have to phone (usually to some horrible call centre) -after say getting an email -- but you can never reply to these emails by email -- and people are against all sensible advice given on the planet by nearly every financial regulatory body on Earth in democratic countries forced into making financial arrangements over the phone -- BONKERS !!!!!!!.
I'm sure people these days with so many subscriptions / other regular payments etc may have missed one or two and got the email - please contact xxxx to "regularise" the account - but NO WAY to arrange this other than by phone !!!!!.
Cheers
