HSBCrusher v HSBC - The Battle continues.. claim 4 ready to go!

[gordonhall]

Hi Crusher,

 

Looks like we are on an identical timetable. However, I'm not sure if you were offered anything before taking it to moneyclaim. For some obscure reason, they offered me over 80% of my original claim, which just seems stupid that for the sake of another £200, they could have saved themselves court expenses AND interest.

 

Oh well, it suits be, the interest alne is £400.

 

Maybe we'll get our money back on the same day?!?!

 

 

All the best, I'll be watching...

[gordonhall]

Actually, they made me two offers - the first for £1100, and then one a week later for £1375. Maybe I'm collecting them on behalf of everyone else!!!

 

 

I do have a thought though....

 

I "think" I'm a good customer. Apart from going overdrawn over the past six years, I have everything with the HSBC. Mortgage, house and contents insurance, and endowment, some other life cover, etc etc.

 

I wonder whether the "good customers" get offers over others? Just a thought...

[gordonhall]

Oh well, there's my theory blown out of the water - maybe I'm just better looking than you!!!!

[gordonhall]

Just logged onto moneyclaim, and see that they have acknowledged my claim today - surely it cant be too much longer now....

[gordonhall]

Crazy really, there's no way I'd back down, and I'm sure you are the same...

[gordonhall]

I don't want to get personal about your finances, but are you in a position to keep out of the red when you get the charges refunded?

 

If so, I'd write in with the letter that you are about to send, that along with the current amount that you want settled, you also want these extra charges sorted out. If you paid for the moneyclaim costs from your HSBC, you could also use this as an argument against them, in that if it wasn't for the fact that you have had to persue this through the courts, you wouldn't have had to go in the red again.

 

Give it a try and see how you go on.

 

Failing that, once the money comes through, you can always try phoning the branch in a few weeks and ask them to note the "refunded charges" that have been applied and that you are sure they don't want to go through another costly legal expense...

[gordonhall]

Post round here (Bury, Lancs) is cr*p. Always take till lunchtime/mid afternoon before it arrives! Maybe today huh?

[gordonhall]

I'm not aware of HSBC making a particularly hard stance on account closures (unlike Alliance and Leicester), but I'm sur eit will come. However, if you are a reasonably profitable person for them (in way of endowments, insurance etc) then I think it is less likely.

 

Can never be too sure though...

[gordonhall]

Had my letter from the courts saying that HSBC (DG solicitors) are putting in a full defence. Expected that of course...

[gordonhall]

Half.... Blimey, they offered me over 80% already. Back peddling now are they?

[gordonhall]

We don't need luck, just patience and perseverence.

 

Good luck!

[gordonhall]

Kicking a bit of ass there!

[gordonhall]

still nothing???

 

Just think - every day that goes past more interest added - 36p per day in my case!

[gordonhall]

11th july for me

[gordonhall]

Yep mine came in today as well!!!

 

However, I'm refusing to sign the confidentiality that they are requesting!

 

Well done crusher!

[gordonhall]

It may well be today!

[gordonhall]

say it as it is crusher!!!!

 

Got your money yet? Miune arrived in account today.

[gordonhall]

Lol

[gordonhall]

Its not happened to me, but I've been a good boy for the past 4 months or more, and hopefully intend to stay that way. I'm still using the overdraft, but not exceeding it. Hopefully even that issue will sort itself out over the enxt few months.

 

So, well done crusher, seems like they are finally listening to us!

[gordonhall]

Good things come to those who wait. Well done and hopefully we're an inspiration to a great number of people.
