WOW. I'm filing an official complaint and taking action against @StarlingBank. What is this? DECLINED? Hundreds of people eligible declined over the last couple of hours? If you were low on money or just "couldn't be bothered" to fulfil you should have restricted applications...

#StarlingBank and bounce bank loans: where is it going wrong? Why the mass rejection of loan applications? https://t.co/50iqYbOyQM

[Sam Richards @samrichardstech]

We're getting momentum on @StarlingBank's failures with #BounceBackLoans.

Small news source publishes an article which receives 55K+ reads in just 24 hours. 4 days later #TheTimes features this...

Thank you @TheTimes, @PeterEvans10 and @EmDunks

@Onmeed @AnneBoden @StarlingBank Literally, binned. CTRL ALT DELETE. We were seen as numbers, not businesses. #BounceBackLoans @theFCA @MartinSLewis @RishiSunak

@hwthecarcompany @Beau58907046 @AnneBoden @StarlingBank @BritishBBank @TheFCA @RishiSunak @MartinSLewis Keep pushing mate. There's more to this than what she's saying.

@kevin_dunstan @StarlingBank @AnneBoden @TheFCA @RishiSunak @MartinSLewis @BorisJohnson @hmtreasury MPs, unfortunately it's all about numbers. They'll need hundreds/thousands of people to write for a mention to the people higher up. Mass media + one of the UK's top lawyers as my God-father on the other hand? Trust me, I'm not wasting my time here #BounceBackLoans

@ivor23497174 This moment must be bitter sweet for you. It's understandable how people would disregard the tweets of an unknown user. Likewise, understandable why you wouldn't want to reveal your source. An employee maybe? Friend/family of one? Either way, you chose to warn us. I respect that.

[Sam Richards @samrichardstech]

@ambiej Well I'll be fucked 😂 ..this is what the world has come to.

[Sam Richards @samrichardstech]

@bous_os @HarryHHemingway @Bounce_BackLoan You're a ledge 🙏 good to see the #BBLS community here is strong and looking out for each other. We'll get through this, because we have no choice but to get through this. #BounceBackLoans

@AndrewM86179207 @TINGLYTASTEBUDS @StarlingBank @RishiSunak "Bitch Boden" 😂 For real though, there's a lot we can do based on some of @StarlingBank's actions.

Their reputation has tanked, dramatically, as a result of them not providing transparency.

I'm grateful I know some important people, so trust me, I'm gona do everything I can.

[Sam Richards @samrichardstech]

@mallory19791979 @MartinSLewis @StarlingBank Yet another tweet that's hard to read man. #Honesty could've gone a long, long way @StarlingBank. I'm broke, but damn, if I could transfer you some of the little cash I have now David, I would. 33p and a 9 month old child, plus the stress of #StarlingBank's lack of transparency..

[Sam Richards @samrichardstech]

@kevin_dunstan @StarlingBank @AnneBoden @TheFCA @RishiSunak @MartinSLewis @BorisJohnson @hmtreasury I plan to, trust me.

@PoisonedApple14 @Wongle14 @AnneBoden @StarlingBank This is hard to read man. We feel your pain. Chin up, and keep pushing forward. I'ma push forward with you too Gemma!

UPDATE: A journalist I've known a while through a close business associate has agreed to shed some light on the @StarlingBank #BounceBackLoan mass #rejection saga. No doubt other outlets will follow suit. For many its been 72+ hours of stress, anxiety and lies being told to them.

[Sam Richards @samrichardstech]

@UppermillRes @MikeCherryFSB @StarlingBank We feel your pain Matt.

Patiently waiting for a public statement from @StarlingBank, the same way I was patiently waiting for my #BounceBackLoan application to get #rejected for no good reason.
