Santander is notorious for really bad customer service. (Google Santander Poor Service.) So even if it does go to court the odds are that the judge will have seen loads of people in the same situation as you thanks to Santander.

That is really encouraging news joee, you are really inspirational, i know how much it can drain you fighting with these fuckers all the time, but i tell you, it does make you stronger, i do not take any shit for anyone nowadays because i know my rights and i know that people can't just walk all over you.

So pleased the big guns are standing by you - this is brilliant!!!

Wipe the floor with Santander bastards - you will be stood there with practical help by your side and the mumsnet possy there with you in spirit xx

ThatVikRinA22 · 30/10/2012 23:04

just want to say, i wish you well joee - please dont ever ever think that your dd would be better off without you there - she wont be.

there is always another way.

its bricks and mortor vs having a mum, and there is no contest - dont let hte bastards grind you down.

i hope it all goes well. dont rob your dd of her mum. its not bloody worth it. ever.

Hi. I haven't read this whole post so not sure if this is still relevant but I would recommend contacting this organization www.capuk.org. They treat you as a person, not a 'client'. Hth x
