HSBC Issues Reports Near Watford, England

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Watford and nearby locations:

  • SmoothRegulator Peter Crowley (@SmoothRegulator) reported from Ealing, England

    Has anyone been short changed by a bank cash point in Ealing Broadway centre? Done by @LBGplc bank about 6m ago, who then denied the £20 list - today @HSBC_UK deducted £80 out of £100 as an ad hoc service charge. Never happened before, over 40 years. This time it’ll be law!

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @bat1150gs @HSBC_UK It’s awful. My salary gets paid on that account and I’ve been locked out for weeks now. Their response is to install on another device. Not even the web option works as you need a security code in the app.

  • MattSav7 Matt (@MattSav7) reported from Barnet, England

    @HSBC_UK I have a problem that I need to resolve urgently.

  • will432455 Will Cardale (@will432455) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @HSBC_UK Hello, are your online banking services down at the moment?

  • sluicesnorky SNORKY (@sluicesnorky) reported from Borehamwood, England

    @HSBC_UK your customer service over the phone is not something to be desired.

  • paulsim55825613 paul simmons (@paulsim55825613) reported from London, England

    @HSBC_UK Midland Bank would never say “ Try in a bit” sort your **** out HSBC

  • sluicesnorky SNORKY (@sluicesnorky) reported from Borehamwood, England

    Here @HSBC_UK you seem to have blocked my card! What happened if i was stranded and needed it, no office available to deal with my problem!! 👎🏻

  • jayeshashar Jayesh Ashar (@jayeshashar) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @HSBC_UK the paper statements and notifications are criminal waste of money, paper and efforts. I am sure most clients would be happy to receive soft copies. You should offer this service free or reduce charges

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @HSBC_UK Hi Abi. Will call tomorrow then but asking customers to roll back is not acceptable. The issue here is the bank, not the apple software. All other banks (Barclays, Bank of America, Revolut and Wise in my case) work perfectly fine.

  • ShelbyLoasby Shelby Loasby (@ShelbyLoasby) reported from Welwyn Garden City, England

    @HSBC_UK hi guys, I’ve been trying to report fraud since last night and have been hung up on twice and passed around for over an hour. Please help me

  • Stefan_baisden Baisden 📸🎥 (@Stefan_baisden) reported from Ealing, England

    @HSBC_UK why do I need to sit on hold for an hour on a Wednesday afternoon? What poor service, Hire more phone staff.

  • henriquebacksno Henrique Costa Neves (@henriquebacksno) reported from Camden Town, England

    @HSBC_UK I am trying to make some transfers and buying some things with my debit card but my app is not working even my debit card is refusing all my transactions. I am trying to transfer some money to another account I can use

  • mariusfanu Marius Fanu (@mariusfanu) reported from London Colney, England

    @HSBC_UK the public iOS 16 beta are out. Now is your time to “shine”, please fix the iOS app to not crash at launch 🚀

  • Dorothy737 Dorothy Cohen (@Dorothy737) reported from Barnet, England

    @HSBC_UK stop bombarding me with text messages to the point of harassment. Do any other customers have this problem with HSBC???

  • originalKL Kaustubh (call me KL) - he/him (@originalKL) reported from London, England

    @HSBC_UK hi, my mobile app shows api_03 error code and cannot load accounts.

  • StanislavRH Stanislav Rastvorov (@StanislavRH) reported from Camden Town, England

    But instead they’ve just twitted me another phone number to call and spend another half an hour. UK has some really good examples of nice digital bank experience and I’m sorry the @firstdirect being part of the huge @HSBC_UK can’t provide any good service. #firstdirect

  • notcrowie Phil Crow (@notcrowie) reported from Harrow Weald, England

    @HSBC_UK Great. Let me add another twenty minutes to the problem.

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @scottgardner76 @HSBC_UK If the bank does not release a statement soon I’ll have to change my payroll to another bank. I can’t touch my money because to log in on the computer you need a code from the app. I can only use debit card.

  • ijaen Ivan Alexander (@ijaen) reported from Paddington, England

    @HSBC_UK Abi, I don’t want a complaint, I just want to access my bank account 🥹 I’ll use the option you suggested and if that does not work then I’ll file a complaint but let’s give that option a chance.

  • CatrionaRitchie Catriona Ritchie (@CatrionaRitchie) reported from Kensington, England

    @WalkerMarcus @cusackandrew I use cash all the time but don't get from @HSBC_UK cos they've abolished most counter service branches and I like specific notes and coins. There is only one between Ealing and Putney.

  • sarahnparkin Sarah Parkin (@sarahnparkin) reported

    🙄 just spent ages on the phone with @HSBC_UK - put me on hold and hung up on me. Got a new phone and my banking app won’t let me deposit cheques - I’ve been through troubleshooting and the online help bot, phoned them etc, blatant refusal to admit anyone else has logged an issue

  • Englanpm Pat England (@Englanpm) reported

    @HSBC_UK I’m getting a something went wrong message when I try to log in to mobile banking with touch I’d

  • Chris_S_Cannon Chris Cannon (@Chris_S_Cannon) reported

    @HSBC_UK Cant use online banking, cant use the app. Yet your web page says service has no issues.

  • Justine_Wall Justine Wall (@Justine_Wall) reported

    Wow, @HSBC_UK but your chat line and help are APPALLING.

  • dean_risley Dean Risley (@dean_risley) reported from Ware, England

    @HSBC_UK how are businesses that still accept cash transactions supposed to stay with you when you keep cost cutting & closing branches? We don’t get the same level of service from the Post Office. We’re not a cashless society, just another example of disgraceful profiteering !!

  • fih001 FIH001 (@fih001) reported

    Just switched from @firstdirect after 29 yrs. Always great customer service but cannot stay with @HSBC_UK owned bank any longer.

  • BfrtLeila Leïla Bfrt (@BfrtLeila) reported

    @HSBC_UK Dear HSBC, it’s been a couple of months that I keep calling and sending letters to your customer services about my change of postal address. My account has been locked since then and no action has been taken from your side. Can you please help urgently? Many thanks.

  • Brokenmech1976 Brokenmech (@Brokenmech1976) reported

    @HSBC_UK is there something wrong with online banking? i am unable to login when entering my secure key code it just spins and doesn't log in?

  • DELIVERSHOES DELIVERSHOE (@DELIVERSHOES) reported

    @HSBC_UK Hi I have a query - I'm on 'chat'- got past the bot to a human. But I've been waiting 20 mins and were still@on the question - I want to raise it as a complaint - not the useless service on chat but the actual problem I have with my account. How can I do that by email?

  • Chris_S_Cannon Chris Cannon (@Chris_S_Cannon) reported

    @HSBC_UK Why is my mobile banking app saying "service unavailable" ?
