When opening the current account online, I was told that my ID could not be validated and I would have to call the 0345 number to book an appointment at my nearest branch. On hold for 20 minutes and was then told that the next appointment would be January! I think the only option would be to just walk in and hope for the best. Anyone had a similar issue?
