Verify Identity problem
I'm going bananas with frustration here.
Just ordered a Sky Glass TV, got the confirmation message - logged onto MySky, saw a message saying I needed to verify my identity for the credit sale agreement.
I have tried on the MySky app, on a Safari and then Chrome browser on my phone. I have tried using Chrome on my Mac - and every single time I get an error. I tried calling the helpdesk, but the guy I spoke to was as useless as a chocolate teapot. Am borderline about to cancel my order here - can any human being in Sky help please?
