Hi Marie,
Well, having had a real saga with Barclays over the past two months plus, it
seems that Barclays say it takes a month to get this code brailled. I think
this is outrageous and, if I have enough stamina to take this further (having
wasted hours and hours over my situation of being locked out and having had to
go to the bank to do many payments) I'll be saying something; but the truth is
I'm dead beat with it all and think I don't want anything more than access to
my account right now!
Incidentally, having waited so long and things going wrong their end again, I
have now been promised my code in braille in five working days ... I'm not
daring to hold my breath, mind you! I asked if my bank could receive my pin
for me and that I could be given the number this way, but I never got a "thumbs
up" on that one.
I'm not sure of the best number for you to call from France. The first couple
of times my pin was ordered, these orders were not put through.
What do others think about the timeliness of braille pins at Barclays? How
does this compare with other banks, by the way?
