Alone for my car

I found myself in a bit of a pickle when my car broke and was irreparable, someone suggested South Manchester credit union to me, it was so quick and easy to do, the staff member that dealt with me over messages was lovely and very understanding of my situation, it was very quick and I had my loan approved and in my bank the same day, and now while I’m making my repayments, I will be saving money as well, which is always a good thing Reviewed on: 26th June 2025
