I don't know if you are referencing our 4.7 star rating on Google or 4.8 on BP or our 74 NPS rating over the ~1,200 loans we closed last year, but our customers are pretty clear, Loanbidz customers are very well taken care of. 

Did the insurance get cancelled in this case. 

Or maybe just such a narcissist he didn't care, IDK, couldn't tell.
