Kept our mortgage cashback for almost 6months, was paid by mortgage company but they 'forgot' to pass funds on. Had to chase morgage company who in turn confirmed they paid merry &co 1 day after completion.. turned out accounts department didn't pass it on until we chased them. Imagine if we had not settled their bill for 6 months.. professional they're not. Official complaint pending.

Slow and passive for no apparent reason. They have delayed my move which has caused an unbelievable amount of stress on me and my family. Need a rocket up their backsides
Edit- found out why they are so slow. they've taken on too many cases preventing them from being able to deal with clients in a timely manner.
Took 2 months just to apply for a piece of documentation.
