HSBC Arrangement Fees

Hello all,

Today I got a letter from HSBC saying i owe them £150 in arrangement fees for busting my overdraft limit.

However, the only reason it was bust (having not gone into the red before) was that the company I was renting a flat from did not stop taking the rent even though i had moved out! I eventualy got the money back from them after about 3 weeks and was in the black straight away.

The fees seem awfully high and was wondering if I can get this reduced in some way!

Maybe getting a letter from the estate agent saying they mistakingly took one months rent by mistake or something??

Thanks for any help or advice ;)
