Just wondering...

Hi,

I have my HSBC claim with the FOS now (received confirmation from them yesterday that they had received it but that it might take a while due to the high volume of complaints they're receiving at the moment). I was just wondering whether it was likely that HSBC would try to settle before the final FOS decision or whether that's likely to be the last I hear from them now?

Anyone experiences would be interestingly and greatfully received!

Thanks!

    Hello there

    And yes there is still a chance, sometimes even whilst its in with the FOS before your case is passed on to the adjudicator, a settlement offer can still come though.

    Good luck.;)

  • Thanks for the info, Di. Just wondered whether my optimism when checking the post each morning was founded on anything or whether I should just completely forget about it for now. It's nice to have hope though!
