Consumer Complaint: I received a fraudulent charge on my HSBC credit card in XX/XX/XXXX. I signed an affidavit saying that the charge was fraudulent. 3 months later I get a letter saying the claim was denied. Although the whole time theyve been racking up the fees and decreasing my credit score. The original charge was for {$79.00}, my bill including late fee is now about double that and my credit score has decreased over 100 points.

Consumer Complaint: After being in XXXX for a whole year I came back to discover that some credit cards had been open in my name without my consent or knowledge. I sent paperwork to each credit company and each one has been very good except for XXXX. They still have one fraud account left which is hurting me very much. My bank ( XXXX XXXX ) has recently closed a line of credit worth {$25000.00} and I am sure this one bad account has something to do with it, so I really need XXXX to clear this last fraud item from my report please!

Consumer Complaint: I have been trying to obtain a mortgage and I was informed of an account that is shown as charged and closed with an outstanding balance. I immediately called HSBC regarding this and I was informed by them that I am not authorized to speak to them because I am only and authorized user on the account and not the account holder. When the account holder called and asked that something in writing be sent to me to show I am not responsible for the payments, she was then informed that nothing can be sent with my name on it because I am again " just an authorized user '' HSBC has messed with my credit regarding this account and had done nothing to help fix it. It was never even reported to my credit report that the account has been paid off. I asked to speak to a manager regarding this on going issue and was told he was not available and left my number for them to call and never received call back. This has taken place over multiple days within the last few weeks. The last call that was made to HSBC wad on XX/XX/2019 and I believe another call was also made in XX/XX/2019. I believe there was also another called made but do not recall the date. The only thing this company has done is send a letter to ny mother who is the account holder saying the balance is XXXX however there's nothing on it to show I am not responsible for the payments but it is still reflecting on my credit report. The company said they would bullseye it however I see no reflection of this. The company has made me liable for this and it has now injured me!

Consumer Complaint: XXXX bank was taken over by XXXX XXXX bank. At the time they told me nothing would change for me, the 2 accounts would be joined. So I could continue payment on my XXXX thinking even paid up, the payments applied to my XXXX XXXX card. Well about a week ago I realized that those payments to XXXX bank which was an affiliate of XXXX were never applied to my XXXX XXXX card. That card ending in account # XXXX with XXXX bank XXXX has been receiving payments since XX/XX/2017 for {$50.00} /Month. I have proof of that trough my 2+ years of bank statements. I have contacted both XXXX and XXXX XXXX, neither was willing to help me in this matter since they could not find my account number. All this was paid through my bill pay with XXXX bank.

Issue: False statements or representation
Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX a Judgment was issued against me for the credit card debt that I owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$6200.00}. The payments were ordered at {$40.00} per month, payable to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Counsel C/O the law firm of XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( whom was representing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in this matter ) On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter of explanation along with a court appearance/withdrawal that the law firm of XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX was withdrawing their appearance in this matter on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The new law office, XXXX XXXX filed their appearance and in the letter of explanation I was directed to make all future payments to the new law office that was taking over. At that time I telephoned XXXX XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX to confirm my outstanding balance, which at that time was {$4800.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a statement from XXXX XXXXXXXX reflecting a balance of {$3700.00}, after making my {$40.00} payment the next statement on XX/XX/XXXX reflected a new balance of {$3700.00}, which confirmed that my payments were being deducted form the balance. On XX/XX/XXXX my account was transferred to a collection agency : XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX my account was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that my balance was {$3400.00}, which I do not agree is accurate. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX disputing the balance and requesting proper verification of the debt and a complete payment history on the account. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX responded stating that my balance was {$3400.00} and including a copy of the original Judgment from XXXX. In a separate mailing on XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX with a payment history ranging from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, which did not include a payment that was made on XX/XX/XXXX for {$40.00} and on XX/XX/XXXX for {$40.00} ( these checks were made out to XXXX XXXX, however on the XX/XX/XXXX check copy it is stamped " For XXXX Only XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' confirming that both checks were cashed for a total of {$80.00} ). In addition I added up all of the payments that were sent in the XX/XX/XXXX response from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I do not agree with the {$3400.00} balance, the true balance after adding up all of my past payments totaling {$3600.00} on the original Judgment amount {$6200.00} should only be {$2500.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a certified letter back to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX explaining why I do not agree with the owed balance, especially after using the payment history that they have provided to me on the account. I requested a proper accounting verification of the debt balance that they reflect as {$3400.00}, I also included the copies of the two cashed check copies for {$40.00} each that were sent on XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX responded to my request updating the balance to {$3300.00} and stated " enclosed please find validation for the above mentioned account '' they only enclosed a copy of the of the original Judgment from XXXX and a " current balances '' printout stating the following : total balance {$3300.00}, principal balance {$3300.00}, interest balance {$10.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not respond timely or properly to my request, my account is off by over {$800.00} and they can not validate it, clearly they are violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and I am completely frustrated with this! I will be uploading all documents that support my summary.
