      Seeing a solicitor this afternoon and need to provide proof of identity including a bank statement or utility bill less than 3 months old. What? Who gets those anymore? I do everything via online accounts. Same with tax and any other official stuff.

      Various females I know have problems with providing identification because everything is in their husband's name but it seems to be becoming a general problem.

      Can't be just me. What's the solution?
      Can't you simply ask the bank to send a one-off printed statement for the last three months?

      The snag is it'll probably take them a few days to arrange this.

          Interesting conundrum. It's why I refuse to go paperless with my bank statements and council tax.

            Mines 1300! But then I do live in the armpit of England, so its not really value for money.

              Same here.

              All my bank and credit card statements are paper statements for this reason.
