I have looked at the things you posted, thank you. I have requested a call back to discuss this, the man has taken over the screen to see if he can see any problems with it, which he cannot. I said I’d book an appointment in store but he’s called me back asking if he can try one more thing and if I can speak to a senior advisor, which I am currently on hold for. Thank you
