Hi Andrés, it's Sophie from Financiera Alta. Your file is one document away from done. Do you have a minute?
Yeah, about that. I rent, and the electricity bill is in my landlord's name. I don't know what to send.
That happens a lot, no problem. Any utility bill in your name works: water, internet, phone. A bank statement showing your address counts too.
My internet bill is in my name. It comes as a PDF by email though.
A PDF is perfect, as long as it's under 3 months old. Forward it on WhatsApp and I'll validate it on the spot.
Great, I'll send it tomorrow first thing.
Morning! Here's the internet bill, the June PDF.
Received and validated, Andrés. Your file is complete and goes to the analyst right now.
That was easier than I expected. Thanks!
