  @HSBC_UK HSBC has locked my account. Their customer services will not put me through to an agent. Their chat is incapable of helping with the problem. It means I have no access to my account, either online or by app. This can only be fraud. You cannot report fraud because the customer services number will not put you through to an agent. This is disgraceful.

  @HSBC_UK dreadful combative approach by complaints handler Monica. You get my tax status incorrect, as I'm only the POA on my brother's account, then blame me for your error. It's taken since Oct 2025 to get here. Help @financialombuds

  @HSBC_UK Well my mum went into a branch to ask for help, and I have to say they went above and beyond to sort her out. Thanks very much to all involved.

  @HSBC_UK So you’ll engage when it’s fun, but block me after you’ve been abusive and insulting and I just want an apology and assurance it won’t happen again.
