I have like always, there's like a list of things when I call this company, call the bank call. And I'm like, I don't want to, because it's going to take half my day and it's going to be frustrating.

Yeah. you have to go with this company because if you have an issue, they're going to help you. And I'm like, okay, that's kind of like the ultimate gold for me.
