Hi Alexander.

The problem with that quote of 'reasonable adjustment' is that it is completely unhelpful to you in most situations.

Consider, if the bank says they have to change their systems across the whole of the branch network to provide the ability for a visually impaired person to choose what format they want for each type of communication and that this will cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, do you think this is reasonable for a few customers? After all, all customers and shareholders eventually foot the bill for those changes.

On the other hand, do you thinkit's reasonable for the bank to at least provide you with a format that you can actually use even though you would prefer something different?

I think they would win the argument every time. I'm not saying what's right or wrong, just stating the reality of the situation.

Regards.

Kevin

Hi Richard,

Do I understand you to mean by what you've said that you
agree that my asking for certain types of document in
certain formats is reasonable, and that my bank should be
complying with my request?
