update- received a letter on the 15th june offering me £960.00 of the £1065.50 and that was after only the first letter of request. what shall i do guys?

what if i instruct HSBC to send the cheque only in my name.. do you think that will work?

thanks for the response.. bit worried about another problem i have, the account was in joint names at the time of closure (ex- idiot) but never did any of his money go in to my account, we only did it bacause we were goning to buy a house, do i use both our names on all correspondence or just mine and if i do get my money back can i request that it be made in just my name or if the cheque is in joint names will i be able to pay it in to my bank (just my name on account). thanks
