Telephone service was excellent. I'd initially visited the Colchester Branch, unaware of its Wednesday closure which was very inconvenient. I shall use the telephone service in future. Reviewed on: 13th December 2023

I liked that I was able to carry out a procedure over the phone and not on line as my internet connection in my area is not stable and can drop out at any time. Also the queue at the Branch can be long when customers need to talk. Reviewed on: 13th December 2023
