Reviews about «Larkfield Post Office»
Terrible branch, always a long queue, mainly down to the slow counter staff who seem to think chatting amongst themselves is more important than serving customers
2019.11.16 12:01
I find the women very rude in here
2019.10.23 22:30
Nearly useless post office branch. It used to be a good post office for years but something went wrong. Most of the time they send me to another branch because of lack of professionalism as they don't know how to handle prepaid parcels which were purchase through Royal Mail Online website. They used to open from 7, now only from 9 to 5 and how do I supposed to send a single parce if I work from 9 to 6?

If you deal with the older staff, the quality of the service seems to depend on how much the staff like you, though they are efficient enough in their limited way. The thinner lady with white hair seems to dislike everyone. She is morose, sneering and impatient. She's seems to go out of her way to miss-understand and to belittle. It's not acceptable to make customers feel foolish. Shame on the PO for not monitoring their employees behaviour more closely.

This post office should employ new people the staff are rude as hell especially to the younger people it's so unprofessional also they absolutely love to ignore the phone

Reviews about «TSB Bank»
Switched to TSB a couple of years back and have not lot looked back. Staff at this branch are very friendly and efficient. They also support Heart of Kent Hospice by fundraising throughout the year.

Great staff at Maidstone's branch all of them are very good. Cannot say more.

As a new customer to this Bank, my husband and I have had a very positive experience and found all the staff very helpful. Their emphasis is on good customer relations and attention to detail.

Reviews about «Lloyds Bank»
Very good and efficient customer service. However, the self service machines may diminish the excellent customer service, though the staff try as much as possible to make their friendly presence known in case one needs help. A very good place to do business.
2020.02.15 18:50
Where do I start? I am a lifelong customer;but probably for not much longer.My wife and I popped in to change her current account over to Lloyd's.What a nightmare! After having to listen to what seemed an eternity to a sales pitch for other services and then when we actually got were wanted to be the IT system failed which meant over an hour completely wasted.I am now in the process of considering transferring all my accounts over to my wife's bank(Barclay's) they can't be worse than Lloyd's!

Reviews about «Tesco Bank ATM»
ATM outside large 24 hr Tesco. Available 24/7 with 3 or 4 machines rather than the usual 1 or 2. I liked it because the cash points are in a well lit area right outside the store entrance rather than tucked in a corner, so I felt more comfortable using the ATM at night. Free parking very close to ATM & easily accessible.

Great service just in and out!
2019.08.10 11:15
Had mixed service over the many years I have been with them. Overall online accounts work well and front line staff in the banking hall are very helpful. Duid have some bad experience with one of the investment managers some years ago cancelling my meeting with him after I had been waiting a long time. He told me he would be a further 30 minutes which made an hours wait, no apology just instruction.. I obviously left and complained about this. I no longer keep investments with them but happy with the current and savings service.
2018.11.28 11:29
Freshly arrived in the U.K, I unfortunately had to wait 10 days to have an appointment to open an bank account, aside this each times I've been in there branch the staff was absolutely lovely and very helpful/competent.
Also they've some very convenient opening hours especially the Thursdays 9:00 - 19:00 and Saturdays 9:00 - 17:00.
2017.10.21 15:26
Walked into the branch and to the Premier reception desk. What a mistake. Waited 15mins with no one around and had to step in and grab someone to give my phone number to call me when they had time. Took 48hrs for me to receive a call back and to offer an appointment in 1 weeks time......
All....I could do was laugh and hang up the phone.

The staff offer a good service. Fast and efficient. It’s a real shame that they don’t offer business banking here.
2018.05.08 22:00
This is a first fate bank all the staff are well trained at this branch. The machine's are well maintained and you can put money into them as well so this helps you rather than queuing to do this at the desks. Even though there's never a long que here much...............
2018.04.30 07:23
I dont actually bank with Santander, and as i was paying money into someone else's account I expected issues. But it couldnt have been simpler, staff were helpful and showed me where to go and what to do. Good open layout inside so easily accessible.

Reviews about «NatWest»
Shocking service. Staff wandering about with ipads and only 1 person at desk dealing with customers. I walked in at 14.29pm and my details were taken and I was told there were 3 only people in front of me. Staff chatting at another desk on and off. I walked out at 14.54pm as had appointment elsewhere at 3pm. Not unusual sadly in this branch! Can't understand why they pay so many staff to not assist customers...
2020.02.17 20:50
Such poor service! Only ever 1 person serving at the front desk... 3 people front of house with ipads... Just a suggesting maybe have 2 people with Ipads and open the other station... Been in the que now for 25 mins with still 4 people to be served before me... As a Premier banking customer this is shocking service!! Staff need to recognise when it's busy and man the other till??? Surely that is common sense?
2019.12.06 12:56
Disappointing and frustrating on 28th May - had to queue for forty minutes as only one counter open. Despite front-of-house trying to be helpful, there was no effort to open more counters and clear the queue. When finally served, there was no apology given at all by Connor - it would not have cost him anything to do so. When I asked to file a complaint he blamed the previous customer (not fair or true) - it seems that customers are unwelcome at this bank for some staff, particularly as people in the queue were told that the bank wanted everything to be digital - which is simply unrealistic for many transactions (we wanted to collect foreign currency). I then asked at the front counter to file a complaint, there were no forms available and after ten minutes of waiting for one to be found, the staff member gave me a card with a phone number, which failed to work. I have normally found the bank staff helpful but this experience was unexpected and unacceptable.
2019.05.29 09:29
Majority of the staff extremely keen and helpful.
Upper level management could do with some customer service training. Witnessed a manager talking down to a customer (who had waited alongside me in the ridiculously long queue for nearly 40 mins) Who simply was stating that on busy periods all three desks should be manned. Only one desk was open.
2019.01.08 01:48
Used to be great service......but unfortunately now they are trying to get all there customers to either use online banking or if your paying in cash or cheques you must use the paying in machines. I’ve been informed by the branch manager of the Sutton Road branch that they’ll only ever have 1 memeber of staff manning the counters no matter how big the Q is. I’ve tried the paying in machines 5 times in the past.....on 2 occasions it wouldn’t accept all of my cash! So I had to get back in the Q!!!

Reviews about «Metro Bank»
Opened my Metro account as they were supposed to be different. The one big thing for me was that I could ring my branch, now you can't. That and the fact that they are looking rocky at best financialy means they are just another high street bank with longer opening hours. Closing my accounts tomorrow.

2019.12.23 17:15
Absolutely hopeless customer services. They are absolutely falling over themselves to get you to open an account, but any problems, they're not interested. No wonder their share value dropped by 50% in January, their profits fell by 84% this year against last and their chief executive stepped down. Also their coin counter is always breaking down.

One star is too good for this bank. Closes at 16:30 Monday to Friday and closed all weekend. About as useful as a chocolate teapot for for full time workers.
2019.06.29 09:57
This shabby and neglected branch reeks of imminent closure. The huddle of listless and disinterested counter staff only add to the feeling of an end close at hand.

Reviews about «NatWest Bank»
Brilliant customer service, very friendly staff. This branch does get busy from time to time so bare that in mind those who want to go peak times, due to being so close to a main road.
Floor staff are great I have had no problem with them what so ever, going that extra mile to help out where need be.
Parking can be a squeeze but its what you expect...
2019.12.04 16:58
I'm quite disappointed really, the design and the appearance of this place is nice, but the faulty cash machines, and lack of staff there, makes the place at risk of closure. I like Larkfield,but this branch has got to do better, in order to get more customers to this bank. You did try though Larkfield.
2020.01.17 10:47
A unfriendly service not impressed at all I am poorly and cannot get on with the self-service machine at this present moment in time I wish for the staff to deal with me at the counter rude would be an understatement.
2019.10.07 09:03
Opening times are awful for anyone who works in the day. Would be better to have an 8:30 - 5:30 at least one day. Parking can be a real issue

My recent visits found the staff very friendly, helpful and efficient.
Well done to all concerned.
2019.07.20 05:35
Staff are pleasant but they do not have enough of them to cope. I have given up going as I only waste valuable time watching one or two at most try to serve the long queues.
2019.05.09 08:28
Two years ago I visited here and gave it a five-star review. Today I visited to pay in some cash and it took so long. The paying-in machine errored when processing my notes so I had to join the queue. Despite there being only 3 or 4 people in front of me, it took 20+ minutes to get to the front of the queue!! I appreciate the teller was on her own, and I sympathise that there are not enough staff here, and that she had to make frequent visits to a more senior staff member to authorise various things, but it would have been nice if she had apologised to me for the excessively long wait. A little basic customer service goes an awfully long way!! If she had acknowledged the poor experience I'm sure I would have dismissed it. But to not even recognise it and then not apologise when I point it out was frustrating. She also had no interest when I pointed out the issue I'd experienced with the paying in machine. Maybe the customers ahead of me were requesting difficult things, however it seemed to me that they were mainly withdrawing cash, and there was no urgency in getting the queue down.
2019.07.12 21:01
the staff @ the West Malling branch are incompetent, and are not eager to assist. all they know how to do is claim the computers do not allow them to complete a transaction, and refer you to go home and do it online.
However, i have had great experiences with the branch in Teddington TW118EP. but im not going to drive 60 miles for good service!!!
2016.08.01 15:04
Very small. Only three service counters and one cash point. It often takes a long time to complete your task because of this.

Reviews about «Barclays Bank»
I am not a customer any more, but my 80 year old father has been loyal to this awful bank from year dot!! His local branch in Maidstone certainly seems to live up to its poor reputation. He visited today wishing to pay off the balance on a credit card of my husbands'. Three people he spoke to said "they did not know how to do this". "The screens too small to do this". It should have been a basic transaction. He was then told that he would have to wait until the Manager comes in at 9.30am. Eventually someone made the transfer, but decided it would be a good idea to ask "why are you paying off your son-in-laws" credit card?" My father awkwardly joked about 'bank of mum & dad'. She then remarked that "surely he is old enough to pay his own debts, isn't he?" Is this how Barclays train their staff?? It is irrelevant & personal as to the reason you are transferring your own money! What right has a member of staff got to make a negative judgement on something she knows nothing about? Elderly people do not always have credit cards, but they are useful for extra insurance to pay for holidays etc. People transfer money as gifts (as per government tax guidelines). People have to pay out for unexpected private health care. How do these rude people ever get jobs in places that involve customer service?? Strongly recommending my father removes all accounts/investments with them!
2019.11.25 22:00

2019.12.26 09:45
Unhelpful customer service. Always long queues and only one person serving. Asked for help printing a statement and was told to queue at a machine even though I didn't have a card. I was then told that I would have to wait an hour for it be printed.

Reviews about «CAF Bank»
We joined 11 years ago for free banking and good interest rates, neither of which applies any more. Unfortunately the bank's systems are very clunky - e.g. not real-time, totally separate system and logins for online statements, and if you're authorising multiple payments, you have to do each one individually, often waiting for a couple of minutes for the code by text. They seem to make life very complicated - e.g. any changes (changed trustees/signatories) seem to require EVERYONE to re-sign as though you're applying for a brand new account.
2019.12.17 14:58
We switched to CAF because we wanted to use a more ethical banking system. However it turns out CAF use HSBC as their beneficiary anyway, not so ethical! The user experience at CAF is AWFUL. The online banking is not ergonomic, and requires multiple steps to do simple tasks. It does not even display the sort code on your account, not useful for when you need to double check account details, I have to hunt for the paper version of our statements which are filed away for data protection. Payment processing is not instant, and requires at least 2 signatories to authorise payments, something that requires yet more work from more people! International payments are done via paper form and posted, which is ridiculously antiquated and requires yet more time. not a great look for our organisation if we want to be taken seriously. the SWIFT code (and other details) was not provided on our account opening letter, which I had to call up for, then I had to call up again to ask for the beneficiary SWIFT code and IBAN number (why was this not given upon my first phone call?). When I inquired which code to use for a particular country, the advisor couldn't answer my question, and told me that myself or the payee should know the answer, why would we know the answer, we are not a bank?! isn't that CAF's job? the ONLY saving grace of CAF is that they answer the phones really quickly (probably because no-one has an account with them), and it seems to be that advisors are working in the CAF office rather than an outsourced call centre. In summary, CAF has caused so much extra work for me as the Treasurer of our organisation, I really wish we had not opened an account with them.
2019.10.02 00:01
Cannot recommend for a charity, especially one that runs activities outside the UK. International banking is done on paper (in 2019!). Remote card payments simply don't work. Their latest two step authentication is a disaster which requires a mobile phone with a signal or wifi/mobile data, and there is no alternative option, which means they are forcing customers to get their own equipment to do basic banking, and cover the costs. Online payments are slow to come in or go out. The online interface is clunky and old. Cards are not contactless. They are mastercard which is often more expensive. You specify on the application form that you want online access for so many people and cards and then you have to apply again. They charge for incoming international payments. No online banking app. I could go on.
2019.07.09 17:39
Avoid at all costs!
Had immense trouble setting up the account and should have realised at that point to run while we could
Now 2 years in we can’t get historical transaction data and all messages seeking help are ignored so we’re now late submitting our annual return
2019.03.30 11:01
Having recently moved away from a mainstream bank who had profit as their motivation rather than charity we decided to go with CAF bank due to how they present their ethos. However this is our first month with them and we have now had our first major hiccup with staff not receiving their expenses in a timely manner even though everything had already been sent on on time and before cut offs. I cannot tell staff they have to wait up until the end of the working day to get paid when they are used to it being in their bank accounts at 2am...... as a normal bank processes them! It's now 6.30pm and the staff have still not had the money appear in their account.... and now I cannot contact anyone because your closed.
This is not how a bank should be run in this day and age, it is not good practice and we should not have to flex how we run our charity to fit in with how you run a bank. Your bank should run how we as a charity require it to run!
Seriously reconsidering our move, I hope to God the salary payments go through tomorrow in a timely manner!!!

Data recovery in the laboratory will cost from £149 and last up to 2 weeks.
Stop using the device where you used to keep the deleted data.
Work of the operating system, installation of programs, and even the ordinary act of connecting a disk, USB drive or smartphone to the computer will create new files that might overwrite the deleted data - and thus make the recovery process impossible. The best solution would be to shut down the computer of power off your phone and outline an action plan. If turning off the device is impossible, try to use it as little as possible.
Make up a list of devices where the necessary files have been saved.
Try to remember the chain of events from creating the files to deleting them. You may have received them by email, downloaded from the Internet, or you may have created them on another PC and then brought them home on a USB drive. If the files in question are personal photos or videos, they can still be available on the memory card of your camera or smartphone. If you received the information from someone else - ask them for help. The sooner you do it the more chances you have to recover what is lost.
Use the list of devices to check them for the missing files, their backup copies or, at least, the chance to recover the deleted data from such devices.
