HELP - HSBC Bank Account Closure

135

Comments

  • Thanks MeeNorr I think they will actually close mine ! I think it maybe several reasons
    I did use it as a main bank account until I saw duplicate payments come out of my account I asked HSBC to investigate and they said that there was nothing wrong. Which I have now found to be false thanks to a very helpful and co-operative third party who has held up their hands
    Secondly I made HSBC pay me nearly a total of £2500 in three seperarte incidences of reclaiming fees.
    I also complain and kick off they downgraded my Solo to a basic bank account and I kicked off. Therefore I think three issues
    1) Not funding my account with my Salary
    2) Reclaiming a large amount in charges
    3) Generally being a high maintance customer

    I think it is just their way of getting rid off "high risk" or people that they just dont want unfortunatly they have picked the wrong person

    They closed your account because of the many problems on the account. There is nothing you can do about it. They downgraded your card because of the way your account was being treated. They dont do that if you are good with money. So bad customer cant handle banking with them. The bit about salary is not relevant to you.

    If you try and appeal they will laugh at you. Go to another bank like the coop and ask them to open an account. Or try Barcalys they might help you.
