hang on, aren`t you trying to steal from HSBC by avoiding paying them the
money that you owe them? Hardly the actions of decent hardworking people
surely?

If they are unlawful then challenge them. Then learn how to manage your
money - how can anyone be stupid enough to run up this level of debt from
charges? Why didn`t you get an overdraft authorised, to give you a bit of
leeway incase you get your sums wrong? That`s why I`ve got a £5k overdraft
limit, to make sure that if a bill comes out early I won`t go over any limit
that will cost me money - I notice and transfer the cash into my current
account the same day.

Perhaps if you wheren`t trying to steal then people might want to help you.
