HSBC Rip Off

Used a cashpoint on Friday that belonged to the HSBC group. The machine clearly stated "Free Cash Withdrawals".

Anyway I make use of their facility and withdraw £100.

Imaging my disgust when I checked my bank account on the net the following evening and found that my balance had gone down by exactly £100.

So much for free cash.

    Unfortunately the HSBC is not the only one onto this scam of advertising FREE cash Withdrawls, the Post Office also have a leaflet for "free cash" except when you read the small print (as endorsed by Martin) it actually takes the money from your account.

    You should complain to the banking ombudsman!!

    ;D ;D ;D
