One more time I am angry on a bank. I opened Passport account last year with HSBC UK. It was perfect as the account would automatically close after one year if I will not decide to prolong it. Good opt-in feature. But now HSBC decided to change the contract, so my account will automatically prolong until I decide to close it. They changed their services from opt-in to opt-out and locked me inside.
Now staying in Slovakia I have difficulty to close the account. Not to mention that there is £6 monthly charge.
HSBC sucks. Never open a bank account with this bank. Loyds TSB will give you current account free of charge.
I am looking forward to future encounters with banks cheating on me. This will never stop. I wish you fast death greedy banking institutions. Good luck financial crisis, you are doing good job hitting the right ones.
