    I think you need to elaborate a bit more on what you actually are asking.

    If your question relates to buildings & contents insurance then I've had mine with them for many years & always found them very competitive.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Financial advice?
    mortgage advice?

    If financial advice, then you should run a mile. They operate a tied salesforce who only have access to poor quality products and are usually very expensive as well.

    You should never get your advice from a tied salesforce.

    If you are on about Halifax carpet sales, I cant help ;)

    Sorry bit vague with my question re trustworthy halifax. i want a complete overhaul mort,critical life,loan cover and endowment - one policy to cover the lot for about 5 years if something like that exists. My problem is that i have no idea about such issues and worry about being taken in.
    WOULD APPRECIATE A GENUINE INDEPENDANT FINANCIAL ADVISER - IS THERE AN HONEST ONE OUT THERE/

    over 80% of advisers currently trading have never had a complaint (FOS reported that end of last year). A clear sign that we are all crooks.
