Good Checking Process
The check was very thorough and emphasised reliability. However, the process dragged on a bit and I would have appreciated if additional requirements were clearly stated at the start of the process.

I had a great experience with Sterling, I had to call to get an error fixed in the system, the person took care of it in record time and remained on the line until it was all clear and submitted. Sterling is professional and easy to navigate!

Avoid these scammers they take your deposit make up nonsense to cancel your insurance and then charge a cancellation fee of £80 odd pounds. Not bad free £80 earned within a week. I am seeking advice at the moment.
