Agencies want to know too much?

waddy640:
I was refused an interview when I applied for a driving job with Parcel Force
because I didn’t have a passport.
This was despite the fact that I had worked for the Home Office for the previous twenty eight years.

Another situation was trying to access HMRC by phone and having to prove my identity through a credit reference agency and failing every time.

There is no legal requirement to have a passport or photo id. Just stuck it to the banks over this. They are obliged to accept a full Birth Certificate, National Insurance number and a utility bill.
