Next time I went on this site ... I had realised what it was all about ... so signed up my present details (well, after forgetting and renewing my password). They refused my payment quoting that this member had notified them that they did not hold a security pass ... They still will not let me on.

That'll teach you for not paying attention

I have never understood how changing your password makes it more secure.
If they don't know your password - it is secure.
If they know your password it is insecure.
How does changing it make it harder to guess?

Well, with a great fanfare because that's who I use, They put me through several pages last time I logged on, announcing how 'Abbey' is now Satander, doesn't make any difference really the service and the extra charges are still carp!
