The whole call was handled very very well, and I didn't have to wait at all long. To be quite honest I was very surprised given the current situation just how efficiently it was dealt with.
Direct Line customer
I spoke to Mike and he was really helpful, really patient. He asked me in one line to explain what my complaint was and he basically listened to me for best part of an hour. He was very informative and asked me to stay in touch and suggested things I can do…he’s made me feel a lot better.

Very nice that you get a call back when people actually say they’re going to call back which is very unusual in this day and age. The advice was brilliant and has allowed me to carry on with the next steps today…brilliant, thank you very much.
