“Worst experience ever. From day one they got things wrong, but then took my monthly payment okay. Last year should have been my last payment to clear the card, but I just got a notification that they have taken money on my direct debit again. I TRIED to log in but it's a revolving door of "enter your personal details" (why, you already have them all?) and after three pages of that, it says "the information is incorrect". NO it bloody isn't! I have done this four times with the same message, so I can't even see my balance. Why not just let me log in with the usual username and password etc, what is so very difficult about that?? It's driving me nuts. NEVER use them again, never.”

“Easy to take out a credit card but impossible to cancel it. You can only do it by phone and having called a few times, one of which I was on hold For 2hrs and 30mins before it count me off it’s just not possible to get through to anyone. Truly dreadful service. Avoid at all costs!!”

“Customer care is terrible. Totally not interested and can’t even be bothered to apologise. The Sainsburys credit cards frequently do not work in the chip and pin devices in the self serve check areas in Sainsbury’s stores. Meaning you not only lose points, which is the single reason I have this card for my shopping, but you have to suffer the embarrassment of everyone seeing your card being declined.”

“I received a useful SMS confirming my direct debit would be taken. On the day, my own bank confirm the debit has been taken. So I login to Sainsburys banking website & the old balance is still there. The website is very slow & customer services just warns of long waits. There is little incentive to retain my Sainsburys credit card.”

“I applied for a loan on the basis of their advertised rare of 2.8 per cent APR. When they send across the paperwork it's 5.2 per cent. Totally misleading. I'm paying back the loan straightaway.”

“Unable to access website in order to settle account. Hours spent trying to get through to customer service. Appallingly unhelpful customer service agents when I eventually did get to speak to someone. Unable to exercise a degree of common sense when faced with something off script.....quite frankly, the second my zero percent offer is up I will DEFINITELY be going else where and never intend on using their services again.....however until that time I'll be making sure I milk every single penny from the zero percent period ;) ...well it's the very least they can do for making me have to deal with such a useless company/staff”

“Nonexistent customer service, payment refused and didn't even bother to let me know. When I called the next day, I was blatantly told I am not allowed to buy the product with this card. ??????? DISGUSTING, never again am I going to bother with this excuse for a credit card company!!!!”

“the worst service ever! It was just a 7k loan with two persons. we started it online, then they ask me more paperwork (asked my bant details). ok. we sent it. then they said need more document.(asked my partner bant details) ok. we sent it. then they LOST this document however somebody signatured to the royal mail. ok. they ask more information via phone. ok. we did gave it. next day sent email again something wrong. ok. we called back the bank. finally they said, they asked from us wrong document but this is our fault because we sent first the document what THEY ASKED. Now they canceled the application, we lost our credit score just because somebody wasn't able to work well there. Last, Nicky the Sainsbury's bank phone operator was really unpolite, just speaking, just speaking and didn't want to hear what we said. Thank you Nicky, you are great. Now I will going to a lawer because we will need later to our credit score.”

“Applied for the card on the 8th. Called in on the 12th asking when I'd receive and was told to wait patiently. It's the 17th, still don't have the card or a explanation. Utterly pathetic.”

“I’m self employed and I have had so many problems with them since coronavirus. There services and communication have been abysmal. I’ve been waiting 2months for a settlement figure and continue to receive letters that I’ve missed a payment(I haven’t) which in turn is affecting my credit score and also making me overdrawn. I would not recommend them. Check loans have payment holidays before you apply. This one didn’t.”

“I am a current customer with an existing loan in place .I pay my loan every month and have never missed and my income has increased since you last gave me a loan.i applied today to top it up to get a better car and you offered me a loan with much higher interest rates .I find it hard to believe that you can do this to loyal and customers who have always paid on time and never missed .once my loan with you is paid off I will never give you my custom again and that goes for your stores too .very disappointed as your decision has lost me the car I was going to buy .”
