The good and the bad

Acorn community bank have been good in some respects with on one occasion allowing me to do my loan top up a little earlier but then when I’ve had emergencies or asked if I can pay some money of to top up for emergencies for my disabled sons apponments they have been really bad and not helped at all and just shrugged me off Reviewed on: 18th March 2024
