Very poor communication, unprofessional (included internal correspondence with email replies). Not at all helpful with the queries we raised. Would never use them again.

The incompetence is off the chats.
Its staggering how a company can either be continue trading with this sort of service.
Just a quick glance at the reviews shows any time anyone has an issue they manage to completely mess it. How are they not embrased in to doing something about it.
There IT systems for the most part do not work they constantly get things wrong and the worst its the service.
Its none existent it genuinely takes hours to get through and more than often than not they just drop your call as soon as you do..

The Web chat is no better huge waits 5 minutes between each answer and there only function is they can send a record of the chat to you. Nothing else.
Its madness.
Do not use them. Tell your friends, tell you family not to use them.

Avoid these people, they are not helpful , was hung up on by them twice , going to settle the agreement in full and will never deal with them again . 0 stars

Trying to hand back my car after end of pcp term . They are unreachable was on hold 45 mins then 1 hour 43 mins to get through to Michelle who then failed to follow it up ! I am now paying to have the car stored and will be sending the bill to Santander ! Absolutely disgusting customer service !!!

Was having financial difficulties with missed a payment asked for help. they didn't help me just wanted to pay back asap. Instead of putting one Missed payment on my credit record. They put five payments missed down it was only 1!

Would give 0 stars if I could. We cannot get through to arrange our end of contract options. Spent hours on the phone at all points of the day trying to get through. The regulator should be all over them if they aren’t already. A shining example of a company who do not take consumer duty and good customer outcomes seriously. In need of a large fine and being made an example of.

Hands down the worst company I've ever dealt with.

They are in total disarray, their IT and systems are all broken, they are severely understaffed, and they are highly unskilled / uniformed as to your account / case and the workings of the business.

One example - at the end of my finance agreement, having communicated multiple times that I wanted to hand back my vehicle - they took £22,000 (twenty-two thousand) pounds from my account!

They then even managed to screw up the ensuing complaints procedure!

Total Shambles.

They just don't answer the phone

This is probably the worst company I've ever had to interact with. I can't believe how bad they are.

The people you speak to on the phone are very friendly and helpful, but nothing gets fixed / changed. Ever.

A car company has chosen them for a car finance deal and Santander have now 'approved my finance', but they seem incapable of actually sending the documents through to me to sign. I've had 20+ phone calls with them over the past month and I'm meant to be picking up the new car in 1 day. But as they haven't sent me the docs to sign then I doubt I'll be able to collect it.

If you are buying a new car and have any choice in which financing company to use then I can't recommend this enough: DO NOT USE SANTANDER CONSUMER FINANCE.

Shocking customer service, can never get hold of anyone on the phone - cant log into an account they dont exist, you can only request settlements - yet I've handed back a vehicle at end of term and its been two weeks with zero letters confirming the finance is settled and cannot get hold of anyone - so far 1 hour and 10 minutes on hold, no one answering chat. Wont use Santander again

Cuando contratas un crédito son todo facilidades. Cuando lo quieres cancelar no hae forma de contactar con nadie. En el banco dicen que no depende de ellos. En las oficinas de Santander Consumer, que tiene que ser por tlf. En el tlf. dicen que por internet. En internet que lo vuelvas intentar. Unos sinvergüenzas.

Santander took a payment when they shouldn’t have as my finance was settled early and I paid in full, it’s been nearly a month now and I still haven’t received my refund of nearly £200.

Upon waiting for an hour on hold I’m now having to prove I haven’t received my money back by sending them my personal bank statement.

I’m so disheartened that it has ended like this, I just want my money back!

Absolutely shocking experience with this company most of the advisers are very rude and don’t listen just read ther script

Rubbish app

If I could give zero stars, I would. From beginning to end, my experience has been nothing short of a disaster. There are too many issues to list, and it would take hours to explain them all. Please take this as a serious warning—avoid taking out finance with Santander Consumer Finance unless you’re prepared for constant problems and frustration.

I’d give Santander no stars if I had the option, I could write a blog about the negative experience however coming to their reviews I see that it speaks for
Itself with the 1star overall rating.

Theres many other finance companies,
Don’t make the same mistake that the rest of us that had to leave one star reviews did.

rude customer service. no communication. offered solution to the problem but no reply. in the process of handing my car back to them and starting a small claim to get my money back. AVOID

Absolutely DREADFUL company.
Zero customer service etiquette, staff have absolutely no knowledge of anything.

Hidden fees and Interest rates are absolutely ridiculous! And judging by the other reviews on here, people clearly all feel the same.

Aviod these useless lot at all costs!

Only finance company I deal with who are completely unable to confirm if they have received large sums of money for 3 business days even when done by faster payment (instant). Won't give clearance for 3-5 business days but countless finance providers will give clearance over the phone and email moments after funds transferred. Must be nice to be able to use the money they've received for a couple of days before applying it to the account its meant for. Currently have a finance agreement I settled on the 4th and here we are on the 9th and they are still showing an interest and saying the money "hasn't cleared" on the agreement. Rubbish, faster payments are instant.

This company is going to ruin your life.stay away from them.
