    @santanderuk 7 miles to Corporation Street branch - neither ATMs accepting deposits - 7 miles home - waste of time. Rubbish service as per normal.

    ... Service number. I've tweeted them, DMd them on all social media platforms, but apart from a curt response on FB DM saying amount paid 26 August, with no other details, and no proof of payment, no one has contacted me. The amount has NOT been received by @santanderuk and they

    @santanderuk your app down again, too many times now. Kept my account with you open, but enough is enough.

    ...@santanderuk took the settlement amount from my bank account. Almost £10,000. Eight days later, Santander have still not received the @webuyanycar amount. I am out of pocket. I have been trying to speak to someone, but as 'online Co' they do not have a dedicated customer..

    Hi @santanderuk, I joined you recently yet you have frozen my internet banking when I tried to transfer money for no apparent reason and I have now had to be on hold on the phone for over an hour. Shocking customer service!

  • lHicksyl1 l_Hicksy_l (@lHicksyl1) reported

    @santanderuk your customer service is dreadful, 3 hours waiting yesterday and been an hour so far this morning, are you going to start reimbursing for my time spend on hold?

  • onlyspkthetruth Truth Hurts (@onlyspkthetruth) reported

    @santanderuk great policy you have that “security locked accounts” can only be unlocked by the account holder attending branch with ID. how does that work when the a/c is in a care home with dementia,the family have power of attorney but can’t access the a/c to pay for the home?

  • Webbo2306 Webbo (@Webbo2306) reported from Bexleyheath, England

    @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😤

  • igabalooo ᗪᗩᐯIᗪ ᕼEᑎᔕᕼᗩᗯ (@igabalooo) reported

    @santanderuk really bad customer service. I have been holding on for an hour to talk to someone. Help

  • deanmarcjacobs Dean Jacobs (@deanmarcjacobs) reported

    @santanderuk urgently need to speak to mortgage team about a payment error - on hold yesterday for 2 hours, today for 1 hour so far. Is 0800 783 9738 correct?

  • JackHavercroft Jack Havercroft (@JackHavercroft) reported

    @santanderuk I have called your number regarding a credit card query 4 times. I have now waited a total of 3 HOURS listening to an automated message telling me to wait. This is appalling ‘customer service’. Your online chat is useless. Give me a proper number to call.PLEASE!

  • BenDBollard ! Bollards 》 (@BenDBollard) reported

    Found a phone & bankcard today, now thankfully reunited with its owner. Disgraceful customer service from @santanderuk who were totally unhelpful & could only advise me to drive 30+ miles to a branch to hand it in...after getting advice from a manager! Glad I dont bank with them
