Nobody incl. the Santander branch manager knows how to stop the charges. CAN YOU ?

Either that or they are giving bank accounts to people who shouldn't be trusted with a pencil. Honestly, I don't know how your situation could even be replicated with another bank.
If you're serious about making an issue about this - you need to come across as a little more credible, it's far too easy to dismiss your posts as lunatic ravings at present. But seriously, I think you should give up, do something nice for a stranger, maybe ring a friend you've not spoken to in a while. Santander don't care about your issues, and I don't think they will mind losing your custom. Open an account with a local building society and be happy.0 -

Worst case scenario should then be £5 max for one days additional Unauthorised OD use.
I can make a better suggestion, avoid Santander in the first place. They're useless. end of.0 -
YES of course they can stupid (and pray tell how)ok notts_phil AND pinkdalek
Seeing as you were so good as to partake in the poll above and have concluded that the answer to the question is proposed is THUS
The QUESTION was (which you answered YES to BTW)
Can Santander charges be paid off ?
For which you replied truly and honestly i hope as
"YES of course they can stupid (i.e. Myself)..... (and pray tell how)"
Well where is the Pray Tell how gone ?
Very interesting. I dont see it here at all.
Well I have to presume the absence of an explanation is that you really dont have a codgers and just wanted to up that red bar in the favour of pure denial of this rotten system called WaXXXNG..:think:
sorry what was i thinking... i meant Banking of course...
Seriously mate you need to get out more and get a sense of humour.
In answer to your question, yes they will there should be someone somewhere who can give you a complete rationale and breakdown of what charges should be applied to the account. I strongly suggest you complain to them in earnest and demand compensation for the distress and inconvenience.0 -
NO (the correct answer)Seriously mate you need to get out more and get a sense of humour.

Another junk reply i see. So that is the great answer is it that you voted on ? Clearly then you didnt even read the OP of this thread where there have been two managers and now i count in total 6 staff in this matter all who made it worse.
I think you are under some delusion about banking today. No dont tell me another of the throng of la la la there is no problem it can all be sorted out if you Do A and B.
I dont know how you could know so little, considering all the posts you have made here and the issues raised here about all this nonsense. It is clearly obvious this forum has an extra-ordinary amount of regular members who get some type of sadistic pleasure in rubbing salt in the wounds of victims of these scams. Either that or they are as thick as SXXT.
It really is very revealing, just reading the threads then looking through the posting history of these people. Something i do whenever i arrive at online groups. A lot of these people are ex industry, well of course they have so much invested in actually thinking this system is not corrupt to the core. Its their life, but perhaps they are just so conditioned to be subconsciously complicit they dont even know right from wrong anymore ? Anything to say on that one ?
No i seriously doubt that.0 -

More its all the customers fault which makes about what the majority of the attitudes here. you are under a delusion mate that this system is fixable. Its completely fXXkXd. Can you tell me one of these institutions that is not FXXing their customers over.
Go on name one and we will start a thread about it and test your brilliant suggestion.0 -
YES of course they can stupid (and pray tell how)Before you say anything, I voted "YES" and I don't work for Santander. However I do think you're a tool. You posted much the same ramblings and ravings a couple of months back with a lunatic idea of naming and shaming branch staff.
There is a simple solution, which will work for every bank going: go in, ask to close the account, and pay the charges that are due. Then go and bank somewhere else. They will most likely be glad to see the back of you considering you probably go in there and accuse the cashiers of stealing your thoughts to feed to the branch manager, who happens to be the lizard king.urs sinserly,

NO (the correct answer)I see some other twit has posted For the banks here. I wont even bother looking to see who that sycophantic !!!! is as they haven't bothered to follow the condition of the poll, i.e. Name the method to solve the problem that 8 santander staff cannot ? No point in looking to see who that is as they will just be another of the sheep like the three others who just want this delusion maintained this system works or is fixable.
At least one member give an idea, requiring inside info, but that is no more than a temporary fix for a system constantly being re-designed to shaft the customer no matter how well informed they or the hapless staff who wish to help may be.
IT is a DELUSION, there IS no way to operate within this system, scale this nonsense scamming and up and its soon clear why our economy is FXXed in case you had not noticed what are you completely blinded by your faith in our current systems.0 -

All of them, including Santander. Any bank will refund charges which are caused directly by its own errors, not least because should they refuse to do so the Ombudsman will kick their backsides inside out and charge them £500 for the privilege, and even beyond that it's just generally not good PR to charge people for a mistake that that you yourself made. (And before you say anything, Santander have not as far as I can tell made any mistakes. Which is a first.)
Also, despite my low opinion of Santander and its systems, you are quite clearly several cupcakes short of a bakery and as such you are, on the balance of probabilities, likely talking a load of crap. The original overdraft was entirely your fault since you tried to spend money which you didn't have, which with virtually any bank account with any bank can lead to an overdrawn situation, and which the bank cannot always prevent you from doing - and which moreover is explicitly covered in the contract you agreed to when you opened the account (which incidentally is not hard to understand, T&Cs are by and large written in plain English.) Furthermore they have probably given you a rational explanation for the charges and you have either wilfully ignored it or gone off on one at them about how the bank manager put fluoride in the water to sap and impurify your precious bodily fluids.
Anyway, I'm out.urs sinserly,

yeh yeh right more blame the customer crap. thats right run off to find an easy target you mean.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
that strategy wont work, i know your game. Another one of the creeps who logs on to get a cheap kick out of doing that. Yeh you know fine well the effect which is why you try this crap on. SAD, so SAD there are people like you crawling over this place.
What sort of a low life would do that. What would the effect be to somebody who really is suffering with these issues ? I can handle it by getting even or just forget about it but I sure know a lot of people who could be destroyed for a while having people like you try to rub salt in their wounds while they are getting financially ruined by these creeps.
There is a lot of this crap going on around here, I think I need to speak to Martin Lewis about this.0
