Been a customer for 20 years and I go for some help after getting into some financial difficulty for the 1st time and was treated awfully. I was pretty much dismissed without even glancing at my details or history. As soon as I clear my overdraft with them i'm out of there! I would not recommend them to anyone Reviewed on: 11th February 2018
