  • marchartog Marc Hartog (@marchartog) reported from Radlett, England

    Can’t quite believe I am taking to twitter to get someone @santanderuk to talk to me about a major banking error (theirs) that needs urgent attention. Only been a customer for 40 years. Hours on hold, cut offs, no calls back, for 5 days - just call me @jaydunne81 @santanderukhelp

  • Scottmaintain Scott Maintenance (@Scottmaintain) reported from Rickmansworth, England

    @santanderuk I see Virgin accounts now let you take a picture of a cheque for paying in, when are we going to get this? John (unhappy cheque receiving Santander customer)

  • Olivia121994_ OD 💚 (@Olivia121994_) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @santanderuk is your app down? Trying to do a transfer and keeps crashing.

  • CopybyAnna Anna Pattenden (@CopybyAnna) reported from London, England

    I seriously am shocked at @santanderuk - the people, many of them elderly and this probably means no access to online banking, standing for ages and ages in a queue in Lewisham branch. It is truly shameful…

  • Janietip Jane Tippett (@Janietip) reported from Tottenham, England

    @santanderuk is there a problem with on line banking. Logging on and keep loosing connection. Not happening with other websites

  • youvsyoultd Ahmed Mohammed (@youvsyoultd) reported from Tottenham, England

    @santanderukhelp @santanderuk I’ve contacted your customer service team twice.

  • MissKristy_LH Miss Kristy 🇮🇪 (@MissKristy_LH) reported from Tottenham, England

    @MorganBroadcast @santanderuk Nevermind, I have just read through the thread and noticed many @Barclays shout outs all over the thread with responses from them. I will be going there. 👍 Hope this issue gets sorted for you.

  • palmsjane1965 Jane palmer (@palmsjane1965) reported from Hertfordshire, England

    @alex_thfc22 @Barclays @santanderuk Working in banking you need Santander to deal with it as they will be able to locate the payment, Barclays won’t.

  • pmancat David Crossinggum (@pmancat) reported from London, England

    @santanderuk A customer of yours, seriously ill with cancer. Never missed a single mortgage payment, but denied any assistance from you. Any explanation?

  • PatrickKeyte Patrick Keyte (@PatrickKeyte) reported from London Colney, England

    @santanderuk I’ve been trying to apply for a loan all day and once I put the OTP in your site breaks, this has happened numerous times. I can’t use another browser because it asks for a landline number which I do not have.

    @santanderuk are the worst. Completely ridiculous bunch of clowns. Just shut your private banking operation down if you can't be bothered to provide customer service.

  • SionWilliams Sion Williams (@SionWilliams) reported

    @theginreaper @GoogleUK In the end I managed to order one, but my credit card company (@santanderuk ) blocked the payment and Google cancelled the order! Needless to say, I'm gutted as I still don't have one on order!! All Google help could suggest was order the white one 🤢

  • MrT_1965 MrT (@MrT_1965) reported

    @santanderukhelp @santanderukhelp @santanderuk Another hour on the telephone waiting. Still no answer. 6 hours over 7 days waiting for someone to pick up the telephone. How can you possibly defend this customer service?

  • jca8155 Jonathan Abrahams (@jca8155) reported

    @santanderuk absolute nightmare dealing with your security team. Over 2 hours of my life wasted with 5 phone calls. Appalling service!

  • metcalfjan Janet Metcalf (@metcalfjan) reported

    @santanderuk I have spent 30 minutes this morning and 55 minutes this afternoon on hold re a blocked account! Both times cut off!! How do I get help??

  • KellyLD11 Mrs KLea D 🖤❤️ (@KellyLD11) reported

    @santanderuk I can't get on my banking app. I've asked for new login details via post over 6 weeks ago and still haven't recieved; I cannot use my card online at all now... Please can someone help?

  • pexlis_ George Pechlivanidis (@pexlis_) reported

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp you’ve sent me a letter to activate an online account I never applied for. It’s impossible for non-customers to speak to anyone at the bank as I need to complete the ID&V process but not a customer.

  • 1977pandora Jacqui SmethurstTodd (@1977pandora) reported

    @santanderuk 2/2 it is discriminating against the deaf and hard of hearing. Really Santander your service is awful!

  • hoodedpigwoman hoodedpigwoman (@hoodedpigwoman) reported

    Absolute shambles at @santanderuk @santanderukhelp Twice overpaid the mortgage and they've put it against the wrong part of the loan, despite our clear instruction. Made a formal complaint which wasn't acknowledged. Impossible to get through on phone.

  • wintersprinter Wintersprinter (@wintersprinter) reported

    Waiting for an @HSBC_UK agent on telephone for half an hour now - and I’m inside a branch where nobody seems able to help. Thank God my main account is with @santanderuk
