I think the banking sector as a whole would make an interesting program,
with some regulators on there and some questioning that might be too
aggressive for In Touch!

Richard,
That is interesting. It took me over 6 months to get an accessible PIN
from Abbey, and that was only after agreeing to subscribe to there
'special needs' register to receive my statements in large print.
Completely useless for me!
It was only through threatening to have SantenDare in a County Court
that they capitulated and supplied me a PIN in an accessible format - on
disk, plus a rather nice credit of £150 to my account.
Not sure about Lloydds, but it wouldn't surprise me if they are better
than most; not that I would ever bank with them!
Maybe it would ve a handy resource to compile a register of the main
culprits and then suggest that Ian look at an 'in touch' expose? I fancy
that it would make a damn interesting programme, and something that the
banks may find a little discomforting.

Hi, Abbey was fine about it - and I think that Lloyds used to be when I
was
with them. Halifax/HBOS are the present culprits. Colin is right to
say
that they'll cite security all the time, which is why I want examples
of
banks which do make alternative arrangements.
Thanks,
Richard
