  I'm being asked to provide ID via driving licence or passport and a face scan to GET INTO MY EXISTING BANK ACCOUNT. And I have three days to do it or my access to my own money could be restricted. Anyone else? Why? @santanderuk

  @santanderuk this is terrible. Simple want to change the mobile number. No help or support and not even a local branch. Disgraceful bank

  @santanderuk your customer care is shocking. I have been on your live chat since 3.20pm and no one has come back to me. No one at all

  @claudelittner @santanderuk @cahoot Claude: I just got told in an email from Cahoot "Important Information - 25/05/2026 Dear MR ......... You may need to take action Please log on to your Online Banking as soon as possible. You have an important new document to read....." I haven't had contact with Cahoot for ~20 years and the task of exhuming old contact info (or anything else) is going to be vast. And if I do, 99% it will be spam or an offer to sell me something - not news of an error in my favour for £50k. Banks sending out these types of messages create a lot of hassle - and there needs to be a way of getting a fast track summary to determine if it is worth the effort.

  @santanderuk It’s 12 in the day would someone be in touch soon. He’s now had a text this morning from your bank to say a bill has been missed, causing more distress as he’s no access to the account. Thanks
