I have supplied both bank account details and debit card details, and despite not being alerted to any specific problem, both applications were rejected. I do not have the necessary account credentials for a billing support ticket, and the items described in the Free Trial Troubleshooter rather suggest that they are intended for those lucky soles who have got past the bank verification mechanism. I repeat my details are perfectly valid - would it be heretical to suggest that the verification mechanism is broken.
