Every six months, we ask for your help to track the quality of customer service provided by banks. By comparing your answers with last time, we can see which have got better or worse. Please vote based on CUSTOMER SERVICE for your main CURRENT ACCOUNT over the last SIX MONTHS. Ignore rates or any other products, and service if it's more than six months old.

We want to find out how each provider rates for service (how it treats you) and coverage (how strong the signal is when you need it). In truth, there are only four main networks providing signals – the rest use these, but under their own brands. Please rate the firm that provides your mobile phone bill (if you've switched networks recently, please rate the provider you were with the longest over the last year).

Credit cards are like fire. Used right they're a useful tool, but get it wrong and they burn. Many use them to collect points or cashback on spending they'd do anyway, but for others they're just another debt that needs to be paid.

An easy-access savings account allows you to deposit and (perhaps more importantly) withdraw whenever you like.

Let us know in our poll below.

There's less than a month until Christmas day, and with the Black Friday sales over we want to know how much of your shopping you have done so far (if you have decided to give presents this year- see MSE Christmas pre-nupp for why sometimes the best present is not giving at all).
