Hi Andy,

I have just recieved a full offer of everything HSBC have taken from me in the last 6 years with interest so if i can do it (along with the thousands of others) then so can you!

stick to your guns, ignore their waffle and dont except anything less than the lot!

Enjoy the site cos its brilliant. I originally just wanted back bank charges but thanks to this site and hours spent reading all the different topics, i realise im owed more than just bank penalties and know what I am entitled to with regards to anything consumer related so i hope you will find this site as valueable as i have.


good luck x

couple of errors in your post here...

try to get back

take out the 'try to' and replace with 'will'

some of the money

take out the 'some' and replace with 'all'

Now you're getting somewhere!!! Good luck x

did hsbc ask anyone to leave their bank or threten to close it. also does anybody have several accounts and loans etc with the bank ? has claiming your charges caused any problems ?

hi kazzy77, thanks for the confidence boost on this subject, i hope i can do as well as you have done.
did you have any problems getting your statements ?

hi again,

i have a credit card with hsbc which i am paying off monthly and winning back my money for current doesnt seem to have caused a problem.

hsbc only close your account if u claim a second time. that may be a second claim for the same account or a second claim on a different account with them so if u want money back for multiple accounts with them and they add up to under £5k (excluding interest) then i would put them all in the same claim with all the account numbers added on for reference.

If you do need to do seperate claims them i would open an account with a different bank before starting a claim.

you will find threads on here that show hsbc customers have challanged and won the right to not have their account closed so theres always that option if they try it.

forgot to mention the statements lol.

i have internet banking so was able to pull off 6 years worth from the "statement" option online. if you have internet banking its great for startiong your claim.

it took 10(ish) days for my credit card statements to arrive but if you are doing the Subject Access Request it really is different for everyone.

hope this helps x
