First Active plc

Advantages: Cheap

...I tried to register with Hopeless Brennan, but the very first time I activated my account the system failed when I tried to enter my bank details. When I phoned them they got the same result when they entered the information at their end, so the problem was not with my PC as they at first tried to claim. If their system could not even deal with this, then I had no confidence in it, and asked them to delete my account. Even that was a palaver!

I have nothing but praise for the people at the Yorkshire Bank plc - Wigan Branch. Firstly, I have my own advisor who I see each time I want an appointment, which makes my visit to the bank easier and much more relaxing.
