Details of the case

When creating a credit card, identity verification is required, so a credit card company will call you at a later date. At that time, even if the person tells the other party that he / she is a "hearing person", he was stubbornly told that "it is a company rule" and "Is this the person himself? I asked my wife to say "Yes" at the address, and I was asked to reply "Yes" at the phone without confirming the contents. In the past, there was a phone call from a credit card company in the workplace to verify the identity. If you tell them that you can't answer the phone at work, the credit card company doesn't understand. As a result, there were times when even cards could not be created. This is the same for banks.

Regarding the case, what I wanted to do and what I thought would be better.

A company that forcibly asks people with hearing disabilities to answer the phone is also a problem, but there is a problem with the rules of companies that do not take any measures to respond if they cannot verify their identity over the phone. If you have written your consent in advance, you should be able to create a card based on proxy/agent settings. Identity verification by telephone is still present.
