66% of UK homeowners believe customer service has either stayed the same or deteriorated over the past three years.
That’s according to a new survey from Cognito which suggests that only 3% of UK consumers believed that customer service had improved a lot over the last 3 years, and 22% believed customer service had improved a little.
