    ... 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 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..

    Leaving @CooperativeBank because they've been awful during Covid. Thought we'd go to @santanderuk but been on hold for 30 mins and counting. Not sure start up / online only banks offer all we need... Hit me up.

  • Isla_Skinner Isla Dowds Skinner (@Isla_Skinner) reported

    @santanderuk 45 mins on hold and I understand that you may have significant staffing issues but my goodness that thumps music is very very wearing for that length of time and verbal interjections too frequent! Please - something soothing and varied not stressful!

  • Fruitnamedlady Gem (@Fruitnamedlady) reported

    @santanderuk hello. Have you fixed the in branch issue of scanning the new driving licence yet pls? I can’t open an account because of it. I have bills stacking up.

  • RTWRich RtwRich (@RTWRich) reported

    When 'chat' functions are so bad, it's quicker to go into branch to get an answer from @HSBC_UK @santanderuk @santanderukhelp Broken experience design, never-answered messages. Replacing old message systems that at least worked. All about mighty profit & extreme rewards for some?

  • ScouseNumberOne Scouse Number 1 (@ScouseNumberOne) reported

    @santanderuk That’s it, I am now removing all my accounts from @santanderuk the level of service is non existent, just being left on hold to speak to incompetent unhelpful muppets…!🤬

  • HayleyH44573874 Hayley Hughes (@HayleyH44573874) reported

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp you need to be made aware how shocking your solicitors enact are. They are delaying us from completing and causing so much stress. Your own solicitors. Why can’t we get another extension before we lose everything. Please help

  • iluvbatfink ER but not the Queen (@iluvbatfink) reported

    @santanderukhelp @santanderuk If it wasn't bad enough that my elderly mother hasn't got a branch near her, she can no longer access online banking as it says she needs to verify on the app but the app won't upload to her phone. Can someone please advise how to get verified.

  • Postgate Diane Hellyer (@Postgate) reported from Horsham, England

    Dear @santanderuk, Closing at 12.30 on Friday is not customer service! Not opening until 10 am on Monday isn't enough. I was outside your door, just now, ready to pay a BIG bill. No, l don't bank online, l like to talk to people. But you don't want to chat! #notcustomerservice
