  Dear @santanderuk I’ve been a loyal customer for many years & have had three rogue fraudulent actions in my account over five week ago. I’m strangely struggling to achieve urgent help from your call centres… what do you suggest?! Urgent help needed… #CustomerService #HelpPlease

  @santanderuk closing my local pets wood branch is one thing. The ATM not working properly is a nightmare. 3x Now I haven't been able to pay cash in via machine. If you would prefer me to take my acc elsewhere. You only have to ask

  @ClemFandango61 @santanderuk I hate them machines but it's not so easy going inside a branch when they keep closing them down and the ones that are still open close at 3pm. Putting money in my own account has become such an inconvenience and it's something I need to do at least 3 times a month😤

  @PhilBillingham @RoyalLondon @santanderuk It cracks me up that these same firms and many other life co’s are now actively promoting and being involved in financial well-being… great service will contribute to that well-being, not some ‘research paper’

  @santanderuk hi can someone help with a maturing fixed rate bond for our children. The woman we spoke to said we have to do it online is this right?

  @santanderukhelp Out of the blue - bam, no reason but app access locked. All cards declined. No access to money. Sorry, but Santander needs 48 hours to figure this out (or in my case, 3 months & counting!) Guess you’ll just have to be homeless. Love to see Ant & Dec act that one out! @santanderuk

  @santanderuk Yes and the financial ombudsman sent his final decision in November. Santander have been non compliant for over 6 months and have now been reported to the FCA by the financial ombudsman service. Finally began actioning the rejection of the vehicle and have not done it properly

  Find it hard to believe how poor @santanderuk customer service is, been with them since Abbey National days (40+ years) unbelievably poor, certainly not the bank they were
