I'm changing bank, so I request to close my former account. I sent the request in march. I'm maybe at the 5th back and forth, there are still something missing. Document, signature, account number, etc... Yesterday I had to write an explicite request by hand, sign it and send it back to the bank.
Speaking of banks, my parents had problems with their old bank about 3 or so years ago that someone/somepeople/whatever were constantly getting access to my mother's bank card. They ( parents/bank ) would just keep replacing her card over and over after the last would get deactivated.
Took a long while for them to decide to finally switch to end that bull, after finally taking advice to switch. Suddenly the card compromises ended basically immediately, which is how I know her phone wasn't completely compromised.
It was frustrating because every time it was a thing of card got compromised, deactivated, and new card sent. Only to be given advice that fell on deaf ears because they've been with that bank they were with for a long time... as though they didn't switch away from another bank they banked with for basically my whole childhood for similar reasons to the problem card bank.
