Yes, but never used the English language support.

Very disappointing how the service has dropped over the last 15 years or so. It's almost like they want customers to leave :?

I once tried their simultaneous translating call centre service. You had to wait about 20 minutes for the call centre translator to get connected. It was a disaster wating to happen, and I could not proceed to do what I wanted to do. After that I did everything in Japanese with Shinsei, but I have moved onto Wise, so fast and efficient, and hardly any human contact.

Looks like they've decided to provide English support via email, and call back.
