Red Tape/Changing Address
People I need to inform of an address change:
Banks
First Direct: current & joint account Santander: current & joint account Co-op: current & business account Principality: savings account
First Direct
You must phone them in order to change address, but it can be done immediately over the phone after answering a couple of security questions.
- Contact Details
- https://www2.firstdirect.com/1/3/ourDetails?BlitzToken=true
- Phone (as of 2019-05-14)
- 03 456 100 100
Santander
You can change the address directly in the banking website.
- Online Banking Site
-
- Choose Change personal details from the left hand menu and then click Change address.
- Enter your new details (including postcode) and follow the onscreen instructions.
- Please note: you'll need to enter a One Time Passcode (OTP) to complete this change, so make sure you have your mobile phone to hand.
Co-op
TBC
Principality
You can change your details in the online banking site.
- Online Banking Site
-
- Messages -> Write menu & link at top of page
- Choose Change of personal details from 'Reason' options
- Enter address and send
- It claims that customers who've been with Principality for less than 12 months who are changing address need to provide ID; implying that those who'e been with them for more than 12 months do not.

Emusic
At first glance, they don't appear to require an address for their card payments - they only have Zip Code; I re-entered the details with the new 'Zip Code' anyway, just to be sure.
Amazon
Pretty straightforward - open account; open card details; change address.
Steam
Can be changed in Steam client:
- 'panglossian' drop down in top right -> Account Details
- Store & Purchase History -> payment methods shows 'Visa ending in **..' and Edit link.
- Choose Visa and enter all new details
- Confirm and done.
Gog
In the Gog client:
- Panglossian drop down -> Orders
- Payment Options - You can only remove a card; you will have to add it next time you buy something from Gog.
Patreon
Like Emusic, it only requires a postcode:
- Log onto www.patreon.com
- User icon in top right; choose Memberships (?!)
- Payment Methods -> Update link.
- Enter expiry, security code, Postcode; done.
Subscriptions
Private Eye
National Trust
https://secure.nationaltrust.org.uk/mynationaltrust/
- Memberships -> Your Details
- Change address; immediate and easy.
English Heritage
https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/members-area/manage-my-membership/change-of-address/
- A bit messy, but easy enough and immediate
Sense
CAMRA

- In theory, you can do it straight on the page, but it keeps booting back to the main CAMRA page when I try.
- Tried:
- Waterfox (Firefox to all intents & purposes) + NoScript
- Waterfix sans NoScript
- Chrome - success
- So Chrome (possibly up to date Firefox - Waterfox does lag behind a bit) is the key.
