    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp it’s the start of day 3 and still no access to my banking services which I pay you for - still no updates, no comms, you’re utterly incompetent and breaking all the rules the PRA/FCA gave you a licence for

    @santanderuk I have opened an account but never received any account information or card. I am trying to get online but obviously sir have any details. When i go to make a complaint even that’s next to impossible. Terrible customer experience.

    AP (@andyparsons3) reported

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp thinks it is a five-star rating but customer service response time that belongs in the last century. Pick one to be proud of.

    @SickSide3 @santanderuk Now he’s 16, he’ll likely need photo ID more and more. He’s of working age, so good time to sort out photo ID for him. Bus pass? Rail card? Passport? He has none of these?

    @santanderuk Called back & wait time is now 20 mins 🤬 call was regarding a chargeback. It's now regarding a chargeback and a complaint. Your, your voice is your password also doesn't seem to be working 🤬

    @santanderuk so disappointed that the help people can’t actually help, no calls, no support, no customer duty - this should serve as a warning to anyone thinking @bancosantander can operate a banking licence - they can’t

    Dear @santanderuk please fix your mortgage arrears emails. I’ve made a payment plan, so don’t send me an email asking me to either pay in full or call to make an arrangement. It’s not too hard to set the system to check whether I’m sticking to the plan or not.

    @HMRCgovuk @santanderuk @HMRCcustomers My Start Up $DelphineMining is about to get it's first pay cheque, problem is, it is chartered accounted by the Blockchain, what connections remain from the original idea, but the capacity is between $6000 to milti-million and tax has to be applied. All company wallets are included (4) of the company, to see outputs and input with research and development side but there will be a breakpoint of Finances input. I bled into this project to exact it, sit as a multi million pound business and a bank account is needed so. 5th September $6000 5th October $59000 ⁸ to be calculated After that the company is predesignated to mine cryptocurrency as designed via digital media not physical hardware due ⁸% risk factored in. I spent alot of time and borrowed assets to set my company up, know that decentralised finances are not theft or Nullified and they are the future, as for my two boats and many mansion's, my bank account. Advice to HMRC: Considerate of government you need a stricter policy on HMRC and benefit checks and Web 3 not just systems to monitor like an AI system over our own National insurance numbers as benefit fraud and web 3 can work together to friction the situation out so noone is trafficked to abuse in future potential. There must be a transitioning period of web 3 users web 3 companies and Government agencies because someone is actually homeless in this situation and government was poop poor maybe there is another recommendation, fix your government structure and employment reviews needed to adjust for the ⁸th probability of vanity within your own services.

    My husband died. The administration is difficult at the best of times (and these are my worst of time) but @santanderuk has been superb and @HSBC_UK absolutely awful - they could learn so much from Santander.

    @santanderuk every time I log into your **** app it demands that I verify my identity. I spend 5 minutes doing so and every time get an error message. Sort it out or I'll take my money elsewhere.

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp Santander today restricted my account, they have bullied me , put huge stress and pressure on me, and they with no doubt have broken FCA rules , it's utterly disgusting that a bank can do this to someone who had been with the bank 15 years plus. @TheFCA
