Companies like utilities and bans ask if you are vulnerable. To this over the last few years I have replied Yes as disabled (amputee) and OAP (where did the years go?). Now I wonder if it is worth admitting anything to them? Last week it was my energy provider and today my bank. My bank are being totally unhelpful, even obstructive, but there is no way I can get to speak to somebody senior. Years ago you could go all the way up to the bank manager and the few times I did everything was resolved amicably. A friend (over 70) had their heating fail yet only got "We are busy". Another even older had both washing machines fail and both her and the her two sons (both vulnerable as have Downs) got zero priority treatment. So is it even worth bothering? I haven't just lost a leg but at times it feels like everything else! Customer service has gone down the toilet!!!
