Surely better to do this in-house, but it is quite exasperating given all the checks they do if you call BA, as opposed to when "BA" contacts you.
I'm not surprised that they outsourced this function given the state of BA's IT and the fact that there are companies specializing in this functionality,
I suspect BA will be taking legal action against the outsource company to recover any actual losses and goodwill that may result.
