Your system is completely unfriendly to the user. There is no clear way, unless you are a lawyer, to go through the the process without making mistakes. Very disappointed attempted user

Sorry to hear that we failed you Bernadette. We do hope that you were able to find something more suitable to your needs elsewhere.
