Review from the web

I called here and spoke with Rachel. She was very unprofessional from her tone to her implicated demeanor. She wouldnt have an answer for my questions, she would reply well whats your score, well why would you even need a co-signer. It was simple as our requirements for income is x and the minimum score is y And so on. Shes not in the right place of employment. I wouldnt want to deal with that kind of person looking for my next home not headache.
