Review of the Great Western Credit Union, Loans:

I wrote a review about their terrible payday service...

I wrote a review about their terrible payday service and using c and l collections it’s time they stopped providing any services to vulnerable people and the big organisations stop using them because their interest charge and this company they are using are threatening to people’s mental health and their life’s. A letter has now been drafted and hopefully Bristol city council will be the first to stop using then poor greed and not what they were when they first stated as a credit union. Think of wonga and these people are worst than them it’s time for them to stop operating and be taken to task over their disgusting recovery procedures which are like loan sharks!
