Been stonewalled for months now

Been stonewalled for months now, and my work is being disrupted as a result. I had my report binned without explanation - my passport image I believe was fine. I filed a ticket asking about this, and got an email asking to send a picture of my passport (that I believe had already been uploaded). That ticket was then itself closed before I could respond.

I went to file my third application, and it took about five attempts and I nearly punched a wall in frustration. The ticket page was broken on mobile. I had to type out the description field about five times in total. The image upload option took two tries because I didn’t know I had to fully zoom out before uploading the image, the date of birth selector was tediously slow when I could’ve just typed the date, and changing the ticket category deletes the description field. I also had browser issues.

When I’m on attempt #5 of the third attempt to get verified, despite having a fully valid passport that clearly resembles me, it’s hard to keep calm.

Ben, I'm sorry this has gone on as long as it has. That's not the experience anyone should have when trying to get verified. I want to make sure this gets looked into personally and get you through this. I'm going to send you a private message through Trustpilot right now.
