    ... 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..

    Absolutely SHOCKING service from @santanderuk Don’t bother banking with them. They can’t manage a simple request, tell lies constantly and waste my time. Absolutely livid! 😡

  • queenamaniana Amani (@queenamaniana) reported

    I NEED HELP. @santanderuk has completely locked me out of my bank account and is telling me I need to go back to England to show my ID or get a power of attorney. I need to apply for my lease but I don't have access to my online banking to get a bank statement.

    @santanderuk #fraud #phishing Had a call today from a freephone number ... main Customer Service number: 0800 3281328. Clearly spoofed. Debit card had been cloned and tried to defraud me. Red flag: THEY told me some details, instead of asking ME for security info. Beware !

  • JulieCl76794509 JulieClaire (@JulieCl76794509) reported

    @santanderuk awful bereavement facilities. Mil passed in November. We were promised some savings but been passed about. Not told we needed to send certain ID, filled in paperwork and only came to light when we chased yet again. Its hard enough as it is!

  • jackieleitch Jackie (@jackieleitch) reported

    @santanderuk just spent an incredibly painful 30 mins on chat trying to get answer to simple question- how to set up SO to pay off cc. Seems a tricky question as I just have error my end. Why can’t it be done on the app

  • paul96403038 paul (@paul96403038) reported

    I was told yesterday that it takes upto three working days for someone to get back to you from @santanderuk regards a complaint on my account caused by a member of staff making a mistake. What great service

  • Claire_pov Claire Pov 🇺🇦 (@Claire_pov) reported

    @santanderuk terrible customer service yesterday and you really don't support older people. A lot of 80+ years like my Mum don't do online banking (have you seen their phones) and your staff repeatedly say go to the online banking app and then leave you with the ipad in store

  • YourMoneyUK Your Money (@YourMoneyUK) reported

    Key stats from @santanderuk's Q1 2023 results: Mortgage applications down 37% as it expects house prices to fall back to 2021 levels. Meanwhile customer deposits fell by £5.1bn and while savers have "low average balances", it revealed 16% are NOT covered by the @FSCS scheme

  • MathewWoodgate Mathew Woodgate (@MathewWoodgate) reported

    @santanderuk Well I am not happy. 2K of my money is lost in your system somewhere from an ISA that expired. I went to branch who said call up... they can't tell me more than 'it's a closed account! The Branch manager cannot access what she needed to on the computer. NOT happy.
