Opened an online ISA and it was a nightmare from start to finish.

I had no access to the account , even though I entered the right details , I then reset everything but alas still no access , whwn asking customer service for support I was just told to log in!!!

Needless to say once I eventually managed to get access ( after making a formal complaint and them admitting there was a issue) I closed the account
