Why did my bank closed my account?
Your account could be unavailable due to fraud, legal requirements or other reasons. There are ways to get your cash back.

Once a loan is paid in full and the account is closed, you lose the benefit of continuing to make regular on-time payments that have a positive impact on your credit score, but the payment history remains.

Why was my HSBC payment sent to a closed account?
I was initially told the payment would “bounce back”. It didn’t and I was then told a trace would be put on the payment and it might take some time.
