Received my fob-off letter today. The usually drivel & one part that I found particullary intresting It was from Tommy McLean in Customer Relations Don't worry, I shall press on

Don't be scared - You're in good company here. Try the HSBC section of the forum http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/ You can start your own Sarah v HSBC thread in there so we can all see how you're getting on They also have a section on the best Contact method... I'm not with the HSBC so I can't really say which is best(I was considering them for my Parachute Account) http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/hsbc-bank/213-all-hsbc-contact-info.html Best of luck x

My bank will take any money they can get now... Before I received my bank statements I had a charge on my account of £5 which showed up as being a 'Historic Statement Fee' - I thought it was good of the bank only to take £5 for all those pages. Now, they've cashed the cheque which I sent with my Data Protection Request which was for £10 (The maximum fee)... They must be really hard up with all these people reclaiming bank charges lol Should I just write to them asking for it back? ... and charge them intrest lol

Got it in 1 Adam. Not too crazy about the new album, think it's a grower. CillitBanger interesting choice of name. Gotta love that Barry Scott

Finally got round to calculating my bank charges (After a short spell of confusion - Thanks to Karnevil & Caro for their help) Prelim letter asking for MY £866.00 back has been drafted & printed along with the Summary of charges. ...here we go...
