Review of the first direct, Current Account:

View on product page

Didn't get as far as opening the account

For a bank that's supposed to be all about 'being modern' and prides itself on great customer service, I had a pretty useless time with First Direct. I tried to switch my current account over to the first account, but had to chase them up on it twice, and then they wanted me to verify my identity with a call to my place of work, and required a passport photo or similar signed by a doctor. I thought this was supposed to be the 21st century... If I can open an account with Atom etc. via an app, I'll be doing that instead. Thanks for nothing, FD! Reviewed on: 12th July 2016

Review of the Tesco Bank, Home Insurance:

Home Insurance Reviewer

I used Tesco as they had a great offer on via TopCashBack meaning I paid very little for my home insurance. It was very easy to apply and I can access my documents online. Hopefully I won't need to make a claim so making this an easy process all round! Reviewed on: 7th July 2016

Review of the ClearScore, Credit Check:

The best credit reporting company out there

It's free! The website is also really modern and easy to use, and being able to get notified of my score via the app or even my watch is really useful. Much better than other similar services out there. Reviewed on: 29th June 2016

Review of the John Lewis, Home Insurance:

Endless phone calls

Did a quote for John Lewis home insurance which was not only more than double anywhere else, but now they've phoned me every single day since leaving the quote. Poor form.. Reviewed on: 23rd June 2016

Review of the Experian, Credit Check:

View on product page

Better, free alternatives available

Experian is the industry standard and has been for along time, however both ClearScore and Noddle now offer essentially the same service but for free. I think it's time for Experian to reduce their monthly subscription cost or offer a free service with advertising or similar as their data is of good quality. Reviewed on: 21st June 2016
