Speakers Corner CommentsHi everybody, I am 73 at the moment. I have banked with HSBC since I was 18 years old, or as some of our silver surfers would know it used to be The Midland Bank. I am wondering if anybody has used HSBC holiday insurance? As some of you may know the cover ends when you get to 70 years of age. I remember at the time I was very cross as I felt this was Ageism that was being applied. When I got in touch with HSBC the response was it was nothing to do with the as they were only acting as agents for a Insurance company. Basically I was brushed off with a standard replies. I am afraid I left it at that but now feel I should not have and should have carried on. I am wondering if the Silver Surfers site fancy taking this on and for the following reasons. 1 I am still convinced it is against the law to enforce ageism. 2 The HSBC although is offering a free service to customers should not be dealing with any company that operates a age qualifying discrimination. 3. Attacking this problem from a group prospective stands a better chance than from any individual trying to deal with corporate issue. Many thanks. Richard Sutton Costock South Nottinghamshire.
