What recent reviews say

One staff member drew strong praise for exceeding expectations, but three recent complaints centre on long delays reaching the company, unmet promises about turnaround time, and a misrepresentation about product terms. Review evidence is limited.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Most reviewers report unauthorized or unexplained charges, difficulty cancelling, and aggressive recovery tactics that feel predatory. A handful praise individual staff members, but the pattern of billing failures, poor communication, and harsh collection practices on low balances dominates feedback, especially from tenants in affordable housing who face policy cancellation and $300 penalties for small payment gaps.
