HSBC (merged)

Hi everyone,
I sent off my claim for just over £2000.00 and have received the standard reply a week later. Gonna wait the eight weeks now to hopefully get an offer.
My question is, I have a personal loan with HSBC. Is it likely that if they make me an offer and I accept that they will just use the money to pay off a chunk of the loan?
Surely they can't do this as it is my money they 'stole' in the first place and it's mine to spend as I choose?!0 -

We did get a phone call on friday though saying they are going to offer us the full amount but seeing will be beleiving lol .
Good luck everyone with hsbc they are by far the worst bank ever

Well further to my previous post I sent them another chase up message via the e message facility and lo and behold they have also offered me a refund on claim number two, they say both letters are dated 22nd June so not sure when they will arrive, I have 14 day to accept or decline so I hope they dont take too long to get here! I'm off to post on the success thread now.
Good luck to all that are still claiming - my advice, keep calm give them the eight weeks and then start asking them for a progress update. The online message facility worked well for me as I do not have time to wait for them to answer the phone!0 -

Hi everyone
I am also trying to reclaim charges from hsbc, it has gone as far as instructing the courts, the judge came back and asked for a full itemised breakdown of charges which I immediately sent, I then received a letter about two weeks ago from the court stating they were deferring my case until the 6th August to give us time to settle out of court.
What do I do now???
Thanks alot

Congrats! it's good to hear the success stories off HSBC. E mail does tend to be better than their snail mail
Well done

Sorry Wood - yes, the court will allocate a date for you - but double check the paperwork from the court to make sure you're doing what you're supposed to!
Hi Everyone
First post on this topic. Have read a number of pages but I am wondering how long it takes from when the bank files a defence until you receive anything from the Court. My bank filed a defence well over a week ago and I have received nothing from the bank, the bank's solicitors or the court since I was sent a copy of the Acknowledgment of Service on 21 May 2007. Getting a little concerned, particularly as most people seem to have had some sort of contact. Can anyone advice please?:eek:
Sorry if this has been asked before!
Thanks.0 -
Hi all.
My 'offer' letter for my £2,500 claim with HSBC is due tomorrow.
I am going to call now to make sure they are sending it out.
I am PRAYING they will settle without needing court action.
Anyone else in the same situation?

Hi ya
I to am claiming from hsbc, have got one more week til my eight weeks is up.
Have you waited the eight weeks or been told a letter is in post.

I was first told the 8 weeks was up on the 22nd. Then when I chased they had no record of my claim. An hour later of shouting at them on the phone they found my claim and i was told the 8 weeks is up on the 24th (tomorrow).
I will be screaming at them if my letter isnt here tomorrow. I want my money and then I want to leave HSBC for good.
