The person who dealt with my transaction last week didn't sound like she knew what she was doing or even that she could speak English.
The person I spoke to today when trying find out what happened and to put through the transaction again seemed much better and gave me the transaction number which I carefully wrote down. Let's hope it works this time. I would sign up for the online service but I've read on the forum what grief that can be.
I hope it gets sorted hopefully if people keep complaining the service will improve.
