what a great website

[lisah1]

Hi Everyone,

just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I've been looking at this website for sometime now wondering whether to take the plunge and claim back my own bank charges. It seems like such a bold thing to do taking on a bank by yourself. But i have to say that with all the brill guidance notes and support from the people on this site, it inspires you to make a stand against these institutions.
I am claiming £550 from HSBC and am up to the MCOL stage. I want to thank this site for giving me the confidence to do this and will be sure to donate when i win.
Lets hope between us all that we can force some changes within the financial industry to stop consumers from being ripped off in future.

Hello and Welcome

First of all don’t panic - you will soon have your money back in your hands where it belongs!!

Im on my 2nd personal claims aginast HSBC though Ive claimed for others against them 4 times now so they must be gtting pretty fed up with me!!!

Remember the banks have acted unlawful you haven’t!!!

Before you start anything make sure you read the FAQs and as many threads as possible as there is a wealth of information on here!!

Before you begin, make sure you start your own thread in the bank forum you are claiming against. Here you will have other “experts” who know how that particular bank reacts. As you have already posted this one, I assume you already know how to do that!



Remember its important to open a parachute account, especially if the charges are spiralling out of control and you have little or no money left, at the end of each month.

If your account goes into a negative balance after you have transferred your banking, send them this notice to prevent them taking any further action.

If you get stuck have a look (by searching) to see if your question has already been asked by reading other people threads, if you are still not sure either post your question in your own thread or PM me and I will be happy to help you.

Also look for another newbie claiming against the same bank as you, that way you can do your claim together and support each other as the post drops through the door!!

Sometimes the banks act awfully and you can get very stressed out by it all. But stick to your guns - you are in the right - they are not. Don’t let them put you off, that’s what they want to do!

Good Luck
