Even on a joint account the bank will not let me replace my wife’s EFTPOS card – which was lost. Even if an Automatic Payment was missed, (due to bank error) the business will not discuss the account – even though I know ALL the details, have the statement and actually just want to give them money. Ditto communications companies
Getting tired of the privacy barriers coupled with automatic phone systems. I am sure some of these privacy requirements are not essential…
This pales into insignificance, however, when the considered with regard to Jade Bayliss murder. “However, police said he was bound by privacy laws and had done everything he could.” “An internal review later found the officer had acted correctly based on the limited details of McLaughlin’s manslaughter conviction he had at his fingertips.”
