    If you are unhappy over the blocking of your account I would be), you should raise a formal complaint - http://www.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/contact-us/complaints. If they aren't being formally told that customers are unhappy/outraged, they might think we think it's alright for them to willy-nilly block access to our money.

    I would look for compensation in the form of a switching bonus from another bank :A

    Just off the phone with customer service. They've informed me the block has been lifted & I won't face any charges for using my credit card.

    But nothing for the inconvenience

  • You need to speak to a 'Customer Advocate', who will call after you fill out the on-line form, or an initial person takes your details.

    These associates have more power, as well as the ability to feedback to higher places than many other staffers.
    Thank you all for helping me make my day by saving money!
