2. You will then receive the client instruction form and client care letter, you print, sign, scan and email back both.
3. Where requested, you then email a copy of the legal pack and contract.
4. You make a payment on account for the sum indicated within the client care letter (card payment over the telephone or bank transfer are accepted).
5. You provide certified ID.

Legal process
