    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp your customer service is appalling. Hanging up on the customer isn't very professional, is it. All we wanted to do was change our address!

    Sort it out @santanderuk since you changed from Visa to Mastercard, it’s been nothing but issues. My account isn’t working today. Good job this isn’t my main account and I have a couple of current accounts with other banks. As soon as my savings interestrate runs out I’m leaving!

    @santanderukhelp The customer relations around this whole technical issue have been a complete fiasco @santanderuk and @santanderukhelp and I sincerely hope the plonker responsible for destroying thousands of peoples plans today is looking for another job on Monday morning !!

    @santanderuk @santanderukhelp yet another epic fail! How are you supposed to speak to someone with an urgent enquiry?? 30 mins holding then cut off twice! Visit your own branch, wait 30 mins to be told, can’t help you need to phone Fraud team. It’s not fraud!

    @santanderuk My husband,who doesn't use the Internet has been over an hour trying to report to Santander , because he's lost his wallet with all his bank cards! It's bad that he's having this much trouble trying to block cards!

    @LizKershawDJ @santanderuk Shame they didn't have the service where you scan the cheque in, barclays do, it's so much easier

    @LizKershawDJ @santanderuk If you couldn't drive how would you have got to the bank. Many local post offices are also closing down or have gone. Isolation of many vulnerable continues.
