According to foreign media reports, HSBC has filed for bankruptcy against two senior members of the Barclay family, hoping to recover a substantial debt owed by them.

Court records show that in December last year, HSBC filed a lawsuit in the High Court in London against Aidan Barclay and Howard Barclay, concerning debts owed by the parent company of the Barclay family's brands Yodel and ArrowXL, the now-defunct Logistics Group.

The Logistics Group entered administration in March 2024, after HSBC demanded repayment of its £143.5 million secured debt, but the company was unable to repay. According to filings with the Companies Registry in October, HSBC has so far only recovered about £1.1 million of the owed amount
