Robert, You don't say whether the difficulty in reading the bank statement is with the print or with the layout. The statements that come from my bank are in very clear print. The layout had to be mastered but now that I have done that, it's possible to read them quite easily. I would suggest experimenting using a scanner to read them but I guess you don't have one. Some banks have more straightforward statements than others. Perhaps you might change banks some time.
