Great Customer Service

Great experience. The advisor was understanding, resolved all of my queries efficiently, and provided excellent customer service. I'm also glad to have a UK-based call centre, which made the experience even better.

Incredibly hard to work with

Incredibly hard to work with. They have made an error on our account 2 years ago. I am still chasing them to correct the issue. Even logging a complaint did not help. They just stating the fact that this has been done on our account and ignore any request to rectify the issue.
