HSBC are one of the worst banks for this sort of carry on.
Scumbags of the highest order.
I agree, moved from them after going £12 over and having to pay over £50 in retarded fees

What i dont understand is why banks dont have a "hard limit" where if you dont have the funds it should say NO to anyone trying to get them, be it a direct debit or other standing order payment.

You mean an account without an overdraft? Won't any transaction just be declined if you don't have any money left in the account?
No, they call it an "informal overdraft" and lend you the money, for a fee.
How can you be over £1,750 past what you think is in your bank account for a whole month? I'm assuming you don't have a constant overdraft and money in an ISA...

Ah but that's only for accounts that have overdrafts available right? I just checked mine and it's just a 'Basic Bank Account' with no Overdraft options.
I regularly check my balance anyway but I always thought you couldn't go in the negative unless you had a certain account type with the bank.

they obviously do this often and make a lot of money doing it.
if its clearly written in the t&c's i dont see a issue. its the OP's fault
There is protection in this country against unfair terms for consumers in contracts.
Having something in agreed T&Cs for a consumer doesn't make something right.
