Smile Armed and ready for action!!!

Hi everyone! I discovered this site yesterday and straight away bought a massive pack of copier paper and printed off 6 years of banks statements from my HSBC internet banking
I added all the charges up and was angry and horrified to discover a total of £2600!
I have sent the letter already and have t oday also requested all statements from 3 closed credit card accounts... Egg, Cap 1 and MBNA.

I am on a roll and will not stop until they have paid me back all my dosh!

This is KARMA!

Hi! I could get all my statements online for my HSBC current account.

My credit card accounts are closed so I telephoned them today and requested they send me all my statements, Capital One are not charging me for this and say I will get them within 21 days.

MBNA say they can only access the last year of statements (yeah right!!) so I have written to request these and have sent a £10 postal order for the fee.
Good luck!!

Only a Data Protection Act request will guarantee that you get them....or at least legally compels them to send them
The 10.00 fee covers ALL statements from ALL accounts with each bank.Its the real safe way to do it.

Go to HSBC internet banking, click on the account you want the statements for.
In the column on the left-hand side click on My Statements (under the heading of My Accounts). In the main window you will see 'View my previous statements' - it should show them from Jan 06 to Feb 07.
To get the earlier ones just click on 'next set' for 2005 and 'continue' to view them, then 'next set' for 2004 and so on.
All the charges are highlighted in red and underlined so it's quite easy to spot them!

Greed and averice causes charges. On the part of the banks and their shareholders.

Nobody on this site disputes that it costs money to administer an account, but, with the full weight of the law behind us, we dispute the amount of money it costs and the banks will not tell us.

Now, perhaps you could ask this question elsewhere on the site instead of hijacking this thread, which is in the Welcome Forum.

Perhaps here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...nsumer-issues/
