HSBC are the GREEDY MULTINATIONALS who PROFIT from DECENT HARD WORKING
people such as myself.


Are you serious? Who's side are you on here?

They have made a mint from me in UNLAWFUL bank charges. I took a loan
to cover these bank charges. The interest is crippling me. My life is
ruined.

Get off your high horse or shut up if you have no useful advice.
