Need Advise Re HSBC International

[watercooled]

I am currently claiming back charges from my banks.

 

However HSBC International (Based in Jersey) advised me they do not fall under UK Contractual Law.

 

Please could someone let me know if this is correct.

 

Cheers

hi there,

i wouldnt like to be quoted on this, but i imagine that they are correct as they also fall outside of uk taxation laws; hence the term 'offshore'.

if they are sandbagging you, however, they are failing in their fiduciary responsibilities and misleading you as to your legal rights, which the courts would take a very dim view of,

Where is your account?

My account was in Jersey, St Helier.

Then I suspect what they say is true. You could do some research to see what laws do apply in Jersey - perhaps write to the law department at one of the universities to see if they can help you. Can't suggest anything else at the moment.
