Lwellyn DVine Great Customer Support

Lwellyn DVine from customer support sorted out the problem I was having with an ISA application. I had been trying for several months through the app and web interfaces but they did not work for me. Once Lwellyn took over getting the application done he kept me up to date with progress and eventually arranged for the application to be through a paper form which finally worked and solved the issue. I believe the issue was with my multiple tax residencies which the app/web page did not work with. The app/web interface could be improved by stating what the issue is rather than waste time by just greying out the submit button when everything has been completed fine, including all the tax residence and tax id numbers.
