Latitude Credit
Latitude Credit is a subsidiary of Aldgate Motors which provides loans to buyers. This facility is one of the best facilities the company is providing to its customer. The major flaw seen in the facility is of the day's turnover. The management is taking too much time in giving loan to the customer that is distracting customer and moving them to go for their competitor.
