If I'd been there from the start, possibly, but it was a multi year programme for which I was having to try and respond to queries about functionality unrelated to anything I knew about

Still, kept the till ringing for a while

So I emailed their "help" address to ask for it to be unlocked, and an automated reply said this could take up to five working days and had been caused by (I quote from the reply)

I then tried phoning their technical help line, but was told there was currently a waiting time of "over 20 minutes".

Not sure what to conclude from all this. But it seems amazing that in this day and age a large company can apparently balls up a simple thing like a secure web login!

There was a lot of problems with the app as well but it seems to be working for the moment. The call time is an absolute farce as I had to phone them a couple of weeks ago

When I was there, yep. The thing I liked best about their model was they had outsourced the development and testing to two separate offshore outfits. Neither of which would talk to the other, so all queries were routed via the UK.

FWIW, it was fecked last month too (couldn't update contact details on Credit Expert or login consistently). My conclusion: they're desperately tulipe, like sas' commentary on brexit.

Maybe they make money from the number you have to ring. Because after GDPR comes in next year, they are going to struggle to get money from anywhere else.
