Total waste of time!!!

1
I was pre-approved for 0% balance transfer of £5000, but after answering personal questions both on line and over the phone, was offered a credit limit of £1000. Total waste of everyone’s time, and felt that ai had sold my soul to the bank for them to then not approve the credit ai was applying for! Reviewed on: 4th February 2024

Rude staff
