DIYbanter - HSBC to close Safety Deposit boxes

I have had an account with Midland/HSBC since my student days, and a
safety deposit box with them since the late '70s, but now they have
decided to cancel the deposit box service, and we have to remove our
documents within 60 days. So where do we put them now? I have always
considered that safety deposits were a standard part of what banks did
for customers. No longer, it seems.

I complained, and was told that I could go to the Ombudsman, but I
don't reckon that would get me anywhere, as they have not done
anything to cheat me of money.

Grrr.

never trust a chinky bank .....
