How does one produce bank account statements ('originals only') if using 
online banking with no paper statements involved?  Is the only way to comply 
with this demand to pay an exorbitant bank charge for paper copies?

When someone from someone from either Housing Benefit or Income
Support visited me, they went through some of my archived bank
statements online with me.  They were very helpful and pleasant - just
wanted to see some of the bank statements to make sure that I was not
defauding them.

print outs at no charge.

It is a bit of a problem and I don't think the Govt rules on
"evidence" for HB have much guidance to offer.
The visiting officer idea seems straighforward enough. I know of other
Councils that accept the printouts done from a PC.
Obviously such printouts would be very easy to forge - but then so are
domestic bills etc.
Suggest you ask the HB department what they consider acceptable with
on-line banks.
After all - a lot of people have 'em. Doubt if they would insist on
costly reprints from the bank.

This is getting to be a problem with more companies just producing
online invoices and statements. For example if I asked for an
'original' telephone bill I would just get a computer printout anyway.
The Royal Mail, when asking for documents to support a mail
redirection, specifically state that computer printouts are *not*
acceptable. Perhaps Adrian Kennard would like to make some comments on
this?
