Customer Service Does Not Allow A 5 Star Rating
2 stars - adneskefi1 - Monday, March 5, 2012 - 9:36 AM

It is extremely difficult to reach someone at VECU and when you do finally reach someone you are disconnected constantly. This makes paying bills or working out payment extremely difficult. I have also had some very bad experiences with the customer service representatives who were very rude and not very helpful.
