Hi all. I've tried to post before but I'm not very good at this sort of thing. After 2 letters we got an offer today on our joint account. It is just over £100 less than the £2100 we were after, but we are accepting anyway. The acceptance letter has no conditions attached at all. Can I right back saying we accept but only if they stop imposing the charges? Im also writing back asking for £800 on my account. Good luck to all.

you can write back and say only if you dont charge me but they will still keep charging you!

 

regards to the other 800. on your account i know that people have called them up and said yes we will accept but only if you settle the other one also.

 

anyway good luck and please donate to keep the site going it is very easy to do!!

 

good luck lisax

please ensure that you have other banking facilities in place before going after them again, its not uncommon for them to close accounts of people who claim more than once

Thanks for that Maverick.Perhaps I am being too sentimental, we have both banked with Midland/HSBC since we left school in the eighties. This whole thing has left me with a real f*ck 'em attitude. We will be changing banks. They didn't make that much profit by being ethical did they? Question is, who to go to?
