    @santanderuk A further 11 minutes talking to a pleasant but unable to help me member of your helpdesk. Advised I'll have to call the first number again and expect to wait another 30 minutes. BTW, I spoke last week to Santander to make sure the transfer would be straightforward

  • WeatherCee Cecilia Daly (@WeatherCee) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    @santanderuk having issues accessing online since this morning. Have been waiting over 20 minutes to speak to someone. This is my third call of the day ..

  • traybakes66 Sally Campton (@traybakes66) reported from Belfast, Northern Ireland

    Hey @santanderuk I made a large online transfer. Your automated service rang me to check it was legit. I waited for over 10 minutes to be put through to someone then gave up on account of being at work.

    @Sophiae007 @VirginActiveUK @santanderuk Absolutely an inside job that. Just conveniently happens on the day the security barriers are not working.

    @MorganBroadcast @bibliobushra How are the fraud team at @santanderuk so clueless that they weren’t aware you can view your pin in your mobile banking app? So sorry this happened to you Charlotte, hope you can get some help to - at the very least - get your money back.

    @MorganBroadcast @NeilMackay78 @santanderuk As far as your case goes chatlotte - Look at all your insurances to see if they can support your case.There must be some way of interlinking all the cases.Keep on at and reminding local fraud squad to see if any update.Hopefully someone is n Twitter will see your post. Good luck

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk @VirginActiveUK I took control of £'s my mum had saved for my sons (her grandsons) with Bradford & Bingley who were taken over by Santander. Service plummeted - lost bank books & wrong info. Virgin- so bad with my tv 'bundle' I had to ask tabloid consumer rights for help to end my contract.

    @DrMahim @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk Don't leave a phone or bank cards in a locker. Credit cards are better. Shut phone down if you have to leave it, harder to log in? Take pictures of your cards and passport, email to self. You can prove your I.D. Even if you've lost everything. ( happened to me in Spain).

    @suetthemam @MorganBroadcast My bank queries everything out of the ordinary. This sounds like a #Santander issue, not a sign that times have changed. I for one appreciate the warning. @santanderuk had best take note that a lot of people are following this thread.

  • scrunchieshaz Shaza B 💙🌈💛 (@scrunchieshaz) reported

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk @VirginActiveUK I am disgusted for you for the lack of care , support & security you have received. I hope these companies review their policies & help you retrieve what is yours after such a nasty experience. Disgusting. I can’t even imagine the stress you’re under.

  • GeoffreytheC GeoffreytheFlexuralCat (@GeoffreytheC) reported

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk Contacted bank. After a while told the story from 3 years ago when they didn't intervene. The rep checked. Said thar "couldn't determine whether pin used or not". To this day, I have no explanation how they were able to use my stolen cc. It should be impossible. 4/x

  • FlowerySarah FlowerySarah (@FlowerySarah) reported

    @MorganBroadcast I'm shocked that no-one from @santanderuk or @VirginActiveUK has contacted you to try and help resolve this.

  • DysgwrCymraeg1 @DysgwrCymraeg #JOHNSONOUT 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@DysgwrCymraeg1) reported

    @MorganBroadcast So very sorry to hear this awful experience. Thanks very much for sharing. I hope you get the justice you deserve and that @santanderuk realise they have a duty here - and their reputation is going to be damaged if they don't underwrite these losses.
