Paper Work

No matter how much we like our work, there’s always something about it which we like less than the rest of it.
When it comes to property, what really makes me fed up has to supply mortgage providers with endless bits of paper. It is, after all, all there on my credit file – which is actually 31 pages long. They always say “Well you can fax everything to us”. Faxes get upset after a few pages, I’ve found.
It takes ages to copy everything. Yet if you supply originals, the problem can be that you don’t get them back for a long time and then you need them again for something else.
I do wish we could move to the paperless society.
I tried to email some copies of papers yesterday. They bounced. They’ve now suggested I fax them. But we’re talking about forty pages and that’s including payslips – which don’t fit in a fax machine. It ought to be possible by email, but banks tend not to like attachments. Surely though, we have the technology to do this all better now?
