    Best time to ring is as soon as they open at 9am. Even then, you could still be on hold for an hour, sometimes longer.

    I rang at 12 today and I waited for 45 mins for them to answer, If that helps at all

    Thanks for sharing @slc244

    Sometimes it can help to put the phone onto speaker while you wait, and then you can get one with something else in the same room @Itsasecret, I do hope you can get through soon, it sounds like the lines are quite busy.

    Let us know when you manage to if you can :)
