But the piece de la resistance, confirm your last address. Fair enough, but we left there over 30 years ago. We did eventually find it, but the process had timed out.
What makes me go ooh is the utter fecking incompetence of the people who programmed this dreck. 8 years / 6 years / 30+ years ago. What normal person can possibly answer these questions.
What normal person can't remember their last address?
If anything such questions are too easy, and possible to find out by scammers. Their use as "security" is woeful.
Oh dear, I'm guilty of that. When we sold our previous house 20 years ago our purchase fell through so we lived in rented accommodation for a few months. I can remember the street name, but I'm not sure of the number and definitely don't know the postcode.
