hi katy good luck!! as long as you've done alot of reading you'll be fine

 

if your a member of internet banking you can obtain your statements online, saves u waiting for them to get their finger out!!

Hi Katy,

This site is fab isn't it? Just thought I'd wish you luck with your claim & tell you that HSBC sent all my statements in a oner but there were so many the postman couldn't fit them through the door!

Also, HSBC sent back the cheques I sent with the statement request letter so didn't have to pay for them all either!

 

Good ;uck & let us know how you get on

Same here - cheque returned from HSBC but poor postman! HSBC have also sent duplicates of the duplicates and some are still missing. About to send second letter and let's see what happens!

I have sent a my first letter to HSBC but I have not yet received a reply and it is coming to the end of the 14 day period. What do I do now? Has anyone had any replies from HSBC?

[Guest Tracey284]

I would follow the advice on this website. Remember that there has been a bank holiday in between so maybe this could be the reason for the delay in replying. I did think that they had longer than 14 days to reply to the first letter.

Hi Katy

 

It took approx 10 days for all my statments to come through HSBC also sent back the chq saying that they do not claim for this service. They will probally come in to batches mine did. Poor postman he had 2 accounts worth to carry !!

Thank you to everyone who has posted advice!! Massive problem with my computer and can only get on the net when i nick this laptop!!!!!

I have received all my statements from HSBC and bless them, they returned my cheque!!! BUT does anybody know if i now have a time limit to write back to them and demand my charges back??? or will it be ok to wait and do it when i have access to a working computer again????:o

Hi Katy

 

You can set the deadline for when you first right to them with your prelim request but from then on it will be every 14 days when you will need to re send a letter until you file for MCOL if you need to get that far. It isn't strict that it has to be 14 days but looks as though you know what you are doing and you mean business if you stick to your deadlines.
