I tried the 1-6-1 approach. Got through right away. They wouldn’t complete the restricted transfer for me.

I have my reference number, as the seller got through last week after about 1100 tries (no, really!) but I’m 650 calls in and no dice yet.

Just keep calling 161 until you get someone who can do it

I gave 1-4-2 another 150 tries, then I did 1-6-1. Got through in under a minute, and she completed the transfer for me! I was super polite and apologetic, and she was quite understanding. Now the real wait begins...
