Changing address

[bounceagain]

Do you simply call your bank to say you have changed address over the phone? Or does the bank need documents to prove who I am, for instance do I need to go to the bank to show my ID in some way including my old address?!

I had to send a signed letter into the bank before they would accept a change of address.

That would make sense as your signature is the way they identify you!

Try asking the bank.

Put it this way. Tomorrow morning I phone your bank and tell them that I am you and I have just moved house. I then give them my address and get all your bank statements sent to my address.

Doh!

Wht do you think?

Hi bounceagain
I recently moved house and had to complete a form that I got from the bank. This is for sort codes etc and also security. They would not accept a written letter even though I was known to them. It all goes through a central office now and with my bank, there is a real backlog at the moment. I have not had a bank statement for three months now, even although they have my new address.
