Tom Brennan - YES definitely. Followed your own case with much interest. We ARE in financial difficulty but HSBC BANK refuse to acknowledge. Formal claim made for charges and then put on file by them. Charges continue to rack up and all has been rolled up into a managed loan which we refute and are not paying. We have just used welfare rights on a limited something or other to stop repossession of our house but the lender got suspended order anyway. So this must indicate our financial position but HSBC dont think so. expecting litigation from them in the future.

AA,
If you are seriously suffering hardship you need to make your claim quickly
What you can do in the meantime is just list your charges and dates and state on it + interest. Normally they do not pay the interest on hardship and they may only pay a percentage.

Then you need to get together all your evidences to confirm your hardship under the FSA waiver rules. I mean by evidences confirmation from your mortgage/landlord that you are in arrears, repossession or suspended repossession order, arrears on utilities and or any court claims.

You will also need to write a letter stating why you fall under the FSA waiver rules. ie Lost job, illness etc..... and enclose your evidential documentation.

Sen it all ASAP to your bank for concideration.

The FSA waiver is due to expire shortly, so I think if you are really in hardship the sooner you act the better.

I am away for a few days but will look in on my return to help you.

Tuttsi xx

Thanks Tuttsi! I was advised to not panic as it'll be late autumn when things are decided, if then We do qualify for ALL the FSA Hardship waivers. I was about to send it off when I got side-tracked with the Claiming Back (?) thread!

Tom,

Am I too late to join in the fun?

Currently have £1000+ outstanding with HSBC (which I have lodged claims for).

I dont meet the first criteria but meet the second for legal aid (salary just over the limit).

Regards

Mailman

does anyone of a case thats been successful in removing a default registered as a consequence of alleged debt made up entirely of bank charges? Could this be a subject for a GLO?

Would be interested to hear from anyone with the same problem.

You could write and ask them to explain exactly what they mean by that.

Lenny

When you wrote to them did you make them fully aware of your hardship by sending them evidences of your hardship underthe FSA waiver rules?

1. You need to send them actual proof of eveidences that you are suffering hardship Mortgage/Rent/utilities arrears.

2.Any other evidences to support your claim.

2. An income and expenses summary.

3. You also need to send a letter identifying why you are in hardship - what caused it ie loss of job, illness etc..

Do you have your own thread, if you do can you give us a link.

Also advise which bank, that would also be very helpfull.

We can try and help you more once you give us more info and possibly post up the letter you received, blanking out your personal details.

Thanks
Tuttsi
