Continued Terrible Service

No matter what i ask of them they never seem to be able to pull it off. Been asked twice if I wanted to upgrade account, accepted both times,was told it would be done in 5 working days. That was six months ago. I've moved twice since 2014 they still have my old address on file despite asking them to change it three times. When moving the first time asked the branch twice to send me my statements as they couldn't print them off for me in branch. Got them on the second time of asking. Reviewed on: 24th May 2017
