An example where you cannot avoid lying to a bank: if you move to the UK, banks require a proof of residence in the form of an electricity bill or similar with your name and new address on it. But the electricity company requires a UK bank account in order to send you the first bill. How do you break the loop? The easiest way is to fake an electricity bill.
- berdario 11y agoThe easiest way is not to go to a bank that has its head up its arse (pardon my french) Case in point: I opened a bank account with Lloyds, and I just showed them my work contract (but apparently the only information they needed was my passport) I know very well that some banks are terribly unfriendly to recently relocated people... and the whole system is quite fucked up, example: Three.co.uk rejected a contract for a 14£(fourteen)/month mobile contract with me, after a credit check (that was back in December, after I already got salary after relocating, paid my bills, etc.) Now the situations changed... but I find it terribly laughable how a company has a whole set of people and systems to prevent fraud for the whopping incredible amount of 14£ (after a month, if I don't pay they could simply cut off my service) fraud prevention is obviously serious business... but you cannot trust a consumer for 14£, really?
- joosters 11y ago'The easiest way' is not the same as 'you cannot avoid lying'. If you are happy about taking an easy way when it involves crime, you are scum.
