To be more precise, phone bank to try to clear things up.
Wait on hold while bank collects money via the 845 or 870 number.
Get told to write.
Hunt for year-old correspondence.
Copy same.
Boot computer, start to write letter.
Take letter to post office for recorded delivery - 80 mins.
(walk to bus stop : 5 minutes
Wait for bus : 10 mins on average
Travel to main post office : 15 mins (all the small ones seem to be closed)
Walk from bus stop to PO : 5 mins.
Wait in long queue : 10 mins (most small POs are now closed)
Reverse these steps.)

Easily 3 hours for a private individual.
