  • 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?

  • 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)

  • lizardUnicorn Nuclear Summer (@lizardUnicorn) reported from London, England

    @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • StreetDogMaggie Oliver Woodruff (@StreetDogMaggie) reported from Edinburgh, Scotland

    @santanderuk I can no longer use your banking app because it requires iOS13. My 4yr old iPhone 6 does not support above iOS12 so you are in fact supporting Apples throw away #ewaste culture.

  • simon_david91 Simon Bell (@simon_david91) reported

    @TheRealJimShady @santanderuk @santanderukhelp Just got off the phone with the mortgage team, who say that it is down the to underwriters to decide on who is granted a mortgage. No info available on whether a different approach was being taken for buildings with fire safety issues, following this statement.

  • PeterMa33025602 Peter Mannion (@PeterMa33025602) reported

    @StuMan21953001 @santanderuk It's a joke. I can't pay bills or get my own money. I also can't spend hours on the phone. I bet they are all " working from home". I am going to close the account if they don't sort it today.

  • StuMan21953001 Stu Man (@StuMan21953001) reported

    @joriches @Michelle_JML @santanderuk Ridiculous! I can't access my business account the past 5 weeks and I have 60 staff who are on the verge of being unemployed plus can't afford their bills or feed their families But don't worry they said they will look into it for me!!! It's now 5 weeks later.

  • StuMan21953001 Stu Man (@StuMan21953001) reported

    @PeterMa33025602 @santanderuk I feel your pain I can't access my business account for the past 5 weeks 60 staff who can't be paid or feed their families and I am told we are looking into it!! Joke of a bank I can't access my own money and their is no branch access apparently. You might be waiting a while!

  • gonetillamclear P (@gonetillamclear) reported

  • timpar2109 tim parsons (@timpar2109) reported

    @santanderuk new customer frustrated online blocked mobile blocked on phone 40 minutes

  • cheshirecat847 Cheshirecat847 (@cheshirecat847) reported

    @santanderuk Had to call several times recently to pay off my mortgage. Every time, a 40 minute wait in a call queue. I ring First Direct and I'm talking to someone within a minute or so. Santander, really poor customer experience, I'm glad we're parting company

  • harvey_steer Jonathan Harvey Steer (@harvey_steer) reported

    @santanderuk Santanderuk blocked my credit card & harassed me with phone calls & letters because I was £5 overdue. Yes I did forget because I was on jury service for 2 weeks. Shame on you. Such a nasty company.

  • StuMan21953001 Stu Man (@StuMan21953001) reported

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp @susanfdavies Waiting for some useless customer service agent at santander to tell me to stay on hold until another useless customer service agent attends my call and tells me some rubbish about not being able to help
