Wow how did this company get such a good rating, right ok let's tell the truth, i came to them two months ago and paid no problem yet they were very VERY expansive, anyway i tried to ring them two days before thr payment was due fir this month to inform them i was going to struggle to make payment on time this month as my benefits wasn't put in on time due to the job centre messing u my payment but they have done it manually and its going to take three days meaning its gonna be the 29th not 28th my payment goes in, easy you may think, but no, i tried calling on the 26th three times, first time i was on hold waiting to get through to them for 54mins then finally it got answered but someone answered and put the phone down on me, now this just really annoyed me so i tried again and 40mins went by and because i had an appointment with my psychiatrist i had no choice but to end the call but i try again two hours later hoping it would be quieter, this being 430pm, but nope, how nieve i was,43mins went by but i lost reception so had to give up, so next day comes (27th) and yet the same thing, on hold for 46mins before i had to give up and go to my hospital appointment for my cancer appointment, so after i got out of here i tried again but i jut couldn't handle the stress at this point and gave up after 34mins, after receiving bad news i just couldn't have handled it. Anyway 28th comes and i ring them to beg for them to take it on the 29th but after 40odd mins i finally hear a voice, not one i could have hoped for but still a person, i explain my situation and he said ti me nope thair isn't anything we can do you have to pay your £49 plus a £30 late payment fee, baring in mind it was the same day he still said even if i pay it today the day it was due I still have to pay the £30 charge, so i explain ti him that I'm on benefits and i only get 610 a month 500 of which goes on rent leaving me with £110 to pay insurance and electric,gas and food but he just wouldn't budge saying he wouldn't take the charge off even this once and when i asked to speak to a manager he said that they wouldn't take it off ether so it's pointless, he then went on to basically say that if i want to change insurance and finance company i could, now remember this is the final pay before Xmas so they are willing to take all my money off me which would leave me having to go to a food bank fir my Xmas dinner, which i wouldn't be able ti do due ti my mental health anyway, ive got suicidal depression which has been made worse with this and its really pushed me over the edge and when come to kill myself ill make dam sure they get the credit it the news papers for it, i mean what does this £30 pay for, ive had no emails calls texts or letters infavt it was only by chance i found out, so it ain't that, so be carful with them everyone if your cash goes in late and they try to take it expect a £30 charge on top even the same day without warning, they are willing to throw away a £600premium fir the sake of £30 and lose a customer plus whoever reads this and finds out what they are really like when u need help and do u know he even tried to get me to fob the payment off on someone else to pay it now I'm pretty sure they can't do that and ill see be going to the press about my problems here just mark my words, thair should legally be a time scale in which you have to pay a dept if you miss it before they can charge like 24-48hours like America do meaning it gives people a chance if something goes wrong like most insurance companies do but not close brothers nope its like a set up to fail situation, so avoid at all costs everyone, this probably won't even get a reply anyway, look at thr other review websites and see for yourself merry Xmas everyone i hoe you have a better one then I'm gonna have starving freezing no electric or gas
