Hullo!

 

Now, I know this is small fry to some of the claims going on out there, but HSBC have severely ticked me off by charging me £225 of excess overdraft fees in the last month. After being a customer for 15 years, I really don't expect them to kick you in the teeth the first time you need a little financial help (naive, I'm beginning to realise...!). I phoned the bank to see if they would waive the fees - they refused, but said they could raise my overdraft limit to stop it happening again. Well, if they're prepared to give me a higher limit, why are they charging me for going over my current limit?! Tsk...

 

Thanx for all the advice on this website. I have gone through my online statements as instructed - it's an educational experience, let me tell you! All that cr*p I've spent money on over the last 6 years...!

 

I have opened a new bank account, so as soon as I have signed the documents for that, I will send my preliminary request letter out.

 

Thanx again for the advice and the templates.

 

Mia

 

PS Advice for the day - when you move to the charity sector, remember to stop spending like you're still in the private sector!

 

Yours, ruefully...

My new bank account is all signed and sealed, so I have just posted my preliminary letter to my local branch manager.

 

I'm a bit scared! But want my money back!!

Sorry - those two things don't go together...

 

It's your money - if you are scared of it you can always give it to me :)

 

You've started, and you will finish by getting it all back. Good luck.

Ok, well, my prelim letter went out on 7th June - 14 days later I am the proud owner of a refund letter for the full amount of £225!!!

 

THANK YOU CAG!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

 

I'm well aware that I've had a supremely easy ride, and am very grateful for it. Massive positive vibes to everyone else who's trying to get their charges back.

 

Thanks for all the help and support - the well-deserved donation is on it's way...

P.S. In case it helps anyone, I sent the prelim letter to my local branch manager (literally addressed to "branch manager"..local address...). I received my refund letter from a Colin Langdale, Senior Service Quality Officer, HSBC Bank plc, Service Quality Team, Arlington Business Centre, Millshaw Park Lane, Leeds LS11 0PP
