Bluesky seems to be really taking off, as noted by James O'Brien just now: I’m over there on bsky.app/profile/iainai…






Hi Network! I’m free for commissions/full-time opps. I write; I sub; I commission. I’m good value at after-work drinks 😊 Prev on staff at the New Statesman and The Telegraph. Bylines with The Times, FT, Bloomberg, London Library and others. Let’s chat. [email protected]

Andie Cox Santander UK Help 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 ® I won't be paying Santander. They offered free for life and id rather pay someone else the monthly fee that have the rug pulled from me.

Looks like Santander UK are trying (once again) to fleece the 'free business account for life' customers. Just received a letter saying they are switching me to a new type of account. They last u-turned on this 13 years back. bbc.co.uk/news/business-…



Iain Aitch I have read that Santander staff reckon when "took over" Abbey National the forever guarantee was voided. I don't think the ombudsman would be impressed anyway but look at the Companies House documentation - it was just a name change.


Iain Aitch It turns out that, even though it made an about turn last time it tried this stunt, Santander still fell foul of FOS: financial-ombudsman.org.uk/decision/DRN24… (Wish I had known - a fairly easy £100!)

Iain Aitch Although an ombudsman's decision does not set a precendent, it is worth noting the decision at financial-ombudsman.org.uk/decision/DRN-2…
