I know that we have office executives on this site. Are any of you in Life Assurance? I invested a load of regular monthly cash for my son from ten years ago and it's matured. They have been quite happy to take my cash but now they have to pay out they have gone all money laundering risk on my arse. I had a colour photocopy of his passport signed by a senior manager at Barclays who knows m'son. Not good enough. What to do.? He hasn't seen a Doctor nor a solicitor in years. Can't think of anyone else who knows him.

Sorry Joe, can't help....bloody amazing the security they put in place when you want something off them....I suggest you ask them for the same documentation, just for your records
I said to the gadjie on the 'phone? How do I know it's you? He reacted with the attitude of a person who had heard all that material before... lots of times.
Could you not get something on letter headed paper from a Doctor/ Bank Manager/ Solicitor (posted out by them) and send it along with the copy of the Passport...funny that...as you have to get someone in a Senior Position to vouch for you when applying for a Passport...so I cannot understand why they won't accept that...
We are on it thanks.
The irony being that the person who now verrifies him doesn't know him from Adam, whereas the senior manager at Barclays does.

I'm surprised they didn't accept your Bank Manager as a suitable referee.
It's a bit of a long shot, but do you know anyone who's a Chartered Engineer? (I.e. someone who belongs to a chartered body and is allowed to put "CEng" after their name.) It's not so well known, but they are also allowed to sign-off passport applications, etc along with doctors and solicitors.

Thanks EL. This seems a whole new ball game after passports. They were dead easy. Our local postmaster used to do them. The people at this particular Life Asssurance (named after a city in the German speaking sector of Switzerland) keep quoting Money Laundering laws at me. As with most things you can bet your bottom that the people who are abble to navigate through this with ease are the people who are laundering money.Add Reply
