Unable to setup online account for family member

[SteveV111]

I don't seem to be able to setup an online account for a family member (same surname but different address/account).  It says account already exists and won't let me enter a different email address as it says account already exists even though it is a different account number).  Quick response would be appreciated as contract is due for renewal shortly.

Thanks

Thanks for reaching out to us on our Community Forums @SteveV111, and a very warm welcome to you!

Sorry to hear of the self-care account issues experienced for your relative.

When it comes to the administration and/or registration of a self-care account, we can only discuss this with the account holder for the services, or if a third party has gained a lasting power of attorney for the account holder.

Can you please advise us if you do have a lasting power of attorney, or if the account holder is in a position to come to us for assistance directly?

Thanks

Hi,  

  Thanks for the prompt response. How does he (my elderly father) take this forward then?  Can he get in touch with someone directly or join this thread?  Online chat?  or some other means of communication. 

Regards

Stephen
