Absolutely HORRENDOUS experience today!
I was at the estate agent and had only 2 hours to apply for a property that I really liked.
I couldn't go home so went to the library instead. I managed to log into my right move account no problem however once I had filled out the application and tried to send it Right Move refused to send the application unless I 'verified' my email first (since I am already logged in why on Earth would this be necessary)???
The problem is that I am not at home so didn't have access to my password book, I therefore couldn't log into my email account on the library PC.
I did have access to my email on my phone but as its an old phone I can't open links on it. Plus, typing out the ridiculously long URL onto the PC didn't work either.
I called customer services and the first girl promptly hung up on me, the second said that this was a 'security feature' and that there was nothing she could do!
I'm a member of over 20 Cryptocurrency sites and they have enough common sense to realize that sometimes people forget their email log-in details so they send you a text code (why doesn't Right Move have any sense like this)???
So bottom line is I may miss out on a property because Right Move refuses to let me send an application from my own account.
It's not like I am trying to withdraw $20,000,000 in gold for goodness sake, I am only trying to apply for a property, so citing 'security measures' as an excuse to lock me out of applying for houses on an account I am already logged into is [quite frankly] Orwellian and outrageous!
Avoid this shower of time wasters...!
*** UPDATE ***
Notice how they always cite 'security reasons' and 'fraudulent activity' to effectively lock people out of their accounts...?
However, all one is doing is applying for a house, this hardly qualifies as being fraudulent does it? In any case, I never got the house and lost out on the chance to apply!
They never once apologised for this and I DID call in and was told a manager would phone me back, but [surprise surprise] they never did, because they couldn't care less!
Whenever a [so called] security measure stops the owner of the account from actually applying for the house then surely you know that their 'security measures' aren't working as intended and are a complete and utter failure!
These scumbags couldn't care less!
