    ...@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..

    ... 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

  • helen_ambler Helen Ambler (@helen_ambler) reported

    @santanderuk Is there a problem with card payments? My son has tried to use his card in 2 different places in the last hour while out with friends and it's been declined, despite him having enough money. I've been in a queue on the phone for 40 mins and counting.

  • chrisromerlee Chris Romer-Lee (@chrisromerlee) reported from Lambeth, England

    @AmySharrocks @santanderuk Left them years ago. Terrible bank. Hope you get it sorted. Presumably there’s a banking ombudsman?

  • susiejgray09 Susie (@susiejgray09) reported

    @AmySharrocks @santanderuk Amy, when I (was lucky enough to) buy house/get mortgage, @bancosantander took weeks/made it super difficult to access v hard earned savings, delaying completion, jeopardising the sale. I vowed never to bank with them again and have not. Hope sorted soon.

  • Zain8987 Zain (@Zain8987) reported

    @santanderukhelp @santanderuk A reminder that Santander backs criminal fraud over theft from a customer proving their phone was legitimately stolen and accounts compromise. Do not bank with this company.

  • darrenmichael Darren Michael (@darrenmichael) reported

    @santanderuk morning. I’ve found one of your customers debit cards whilst on my dog walk. It seems nigh on impossible to speak to someone via your customer service number. What should I do?

  • Matthew98464348 Matthew Stephenson (@Matthew98464348) reported

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp 7 days with no access to my account and still no contact from the “Back office fraud team” no one including managers or in branch can help I have to sit and wait no timescale no access to my money awful service

  • MysticalMumbai Mystical Mumbai (@MysticalMumbai) reported

    @santanderuk fed up with this bank and decided to close account , they will block your account for transaction, they done 9 times in one year and you need to call to bank again and again . Worst bank service ever

  • MeesterWormwood the real G (@MeesterWormwood) reported

    Hi @santanderuk. I have a problem with a card. Your online solutions are rubbish, your chatbot is rubbish, your call wait times are unacceptable and you don't allow customers to send you a secure message to deal with offline. What am I supposed to do? Shambolic.
