Bad customer service.

Bad customer service. Not impressed. Was promised call back on three separate occasions but only had one from the last person I had to contact. I called three times to sort saffrons error of not sending me user id for over three weeks from account opening. Quite a hassle to keep on calling them and waiting so long in the queue to them not bothering calling and updating me. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2024
