Companies House have just sent me an email telling me that because of new laws, I need to verify my identity. So I leapt into action. There follows an open letter.
Dear Companies House.
The questions "Do you have a passport?" and "Do you have your passport on you in the office right now?" are different fucking questions and you should clarify which you mean before you direct me down an irreversible cul-de-sac in your application's verification logic.
Hey. I don’t know how to share this here. I don't know how to "frame" it for Mastodon...
But I want to share it. Because I know other people out there hurt. I know how isolating it is.
So, this isn't snappy & well-packaged. But neither am I. And neither is pain.
I hope this somehow helps someone feel less alone in their pain:
