My children have both received this letter tell me I’m not going mad but it is wrong.


You get the 5% up to £3000 and the 1.5/1.75 after £3000

    Do you think I should go all in then and take them to court?

    Haha, I think they will be issuing a correction in fairly short order.

    That would be an expensive and time consuming project :)  Reporting this discrepancy to HSBC could be helpful.
  • Making mistakes is what being human is all about.....and we all do it. It just goes to show that, rather unexpectedly, HSBC are almost human.

    It’s taken 11 days but the party is over. Interestingly the date of the rate change has moved forward 12 days.

    I wonder if that means they'll pay 5% for that 12 day period? Assume that the date moving forward is because they have to give however many days notice
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
