Issue: Communication tactics
Subissue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Consumer Complaint: At the end of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX began harassing me at my place of work stating they were going to send a process server to my work, giving me the option to stop it, they threatened my co-workers that they must get in touch with me as it was an important legal matter several times. I filed a complaint against them in XXXX of XXXX as they got progressively worse. When I would call them, they wanted information I was not willing to give out over the phone ( DOB, SS # ... ). I did find out it was in regards to an old HSBC account that had been charged off well over 9 years ago. I called HSBC to confirm. The woman I spoke with there urged me to reach out to the Attorney General, who then in turn asked me to file with CFPB, based on their actions. The original complaint I filed was # XXXX and not able to be followed up on. Today,XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX , contacted my work, asking for the nurse manager by name. He asked information about me, and she was told that they want to serve papers to me and asked if I worked here and asked to confirm the address here. She declined and asked for a call back # and said she did not believe that it was a legitimate call. He assured it it was and said if I want to stop this action I better call and gave a case # to her to give to me. When I called him back he was rude, said I knew exactly what this call was about and when I told him I did not know, he said I was lying. He got loud accused me of not paying my bills and expect to be sued. I asked him what for and he told me the same HSBC account and then said expect to be sued, when I tried to explain the information I had, he got louder told me the company has only been there for 6 months, it was his cousin 's law firm and told me not to call his law firm again and hung up on me. I am concerned as this company is out of California and my SS # & identity were stolen filing taxes with the IRS in California about 4 years ago. Please assist. Not sure where else to go with this. I just want this to stop.

Consumer Complaint: Found this information on my credit report and wrote a letter requesting a copy of the application and information to verify what this debt was for. I have not received a signed application, no ID, no billing and shipping information and anything else to validate this alleged debt belongs to me.

Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card
Consumer Complaint: I lost my HSBC debit card in XXXX 2017. When I noticed the loss I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX and they informed me about fraudulent charges of XXXX XXXX. I was told that my funds will be restored and they will send me a new card. I contacted XXXX police department and filed a police report XXXX and I also filed Identity theft report with Federal trade commission XXXX too. I provided all that information to HSBC and their employee XXXX XXXX. It is already three month that my funds are not restored. I contacted HSBC several times and nobody helped me. Everybody told me that I should talk with XXXX XXXX and that person was never available or returned my calls. I am out of XXXX XXXX of my hard earned money and HSBC bank never tried to help me and secure my funds. None of their employees ( especially XXXX XXXX ) or supervisors did any investigation or contacted me to help this matter. This type of service from HSBC is against Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and implementing Regulation E, 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., 12 C.F.R. 205, and from my experience they dont care and have no interest helping their client.

Consumer Complaint: Dear Sir/Madam : I had/have Previously Submitted a Complaint/Request for Assistance, and the Consumer Complaint Number # XXXX, against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Loan Number # XXXX. On today, I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2017, from Beneficial. That letter at Paragraph 3, references a Lien for XXXX XXXX XXXX, that Lien was disposed/avoided of in the Federal Bankruptcy proceedings, after the XXXX XXXX XXXX did not challenge it by the Federal Bankruptcy Judge. Beneficial was provided a copy of that Court Order by my Bankruptcy Attorney ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), that handled my case, after Beneficial refused to acknowledge the copy of the bankruptcy proceedings that I sent them. If Beneficial has provided you with a copy of the XXXX XXXX, 2017, letter that I just received from them, please note that they have omitted that document? I have provided as an attachment a Copy of that Court Order from Judge XXXX for you to review. How is it that Beneficial forgot to provide that document to you, this in itself is the whole basis for the Complaint against them. Beneficial has willfully and knowlingly not submitted documents that prove that I am right. Additionally, XXXX XXXX has never submitted any documents, be it letter or Confirmation from XXXX XXXX XXXX that Lien is still Valid. I also contacted the XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX, which handled the bankruptcy proceeding on XXXX XXXX XXXX 's behalf. In view of this information and the statements made by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, in that letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2017, they must provide proof of whom and when they spoke with at XXXX XXXX XXXX, time, date and Phone Number, so that Debt Lien can be acknowledged. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, must not be allowed to Pawn this off on " XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, as they had nothing to do with the information being provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX. As you now have the Court Order that Beneficial did not provide you with, and no way of knowing who from Beneficial spoke with whom at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and when, that needs to be resolved in writing by XXXX.

Issue: Trouble during payment process
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: I have had an ACH Direct Transfer agreement with HSBC for the past 14 years during which HSBC has been withdrawing its monthly mortgage on time, uninterrupted. In or about XXXX 2017, without my knowledge, permission, or consent, HSBC stopped the transfers for reasons it refuses to provide. The attached HSBC Direct Transfer Policy, Section III ( ACH Revoke Authorization ), states that only the consumer can revoke this authorization. I have not done so. It remains valid. HSBC has refused to transfer the fund and has initiated foreclosure. If this all sounds absurd, it is. I am filing this compliant to find out from HSBC ( 1 ) why it stopped the Direct Transfer, ( 2 ) why it has damaged my credit, and ( 3 ) why it has initiated foreclosure. Simple questions. I hope HSBC responds. Prior experience shows that HSBC takes complaints to CFPB as jokes and does not properly respond. HSBC knows that it can respond with a dog bone image, and CFPB promptly accepts it as a timely response and closes the case.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2017, I received a bill from HSBC bank which appears that someone had stolen my identity and opened a new credit card under my name and address. They charged {$9400.00} on the card. I called HSBC bank that night but was on hold for almost one hour. I tried calling again the next morning and was on hold for another 50 minutes. Finally, I went to the branch in XXXX, CA and they had me call their Fraud line again. I called from the bank and was on hold for another 37 minutes before someone talked to me. I was asked to fill out an affidavit form which I did and returned back to them but have not had any results. I also disputed the card on XXXX but HSBC bank certified to XXXX that the information is correct. When I was at the bank, they told me some information filled out on the credit card application was incorrect. The applicant used the wrong home phone number and wrong email address. There was another bank that the criminal got a card from also under my name, but that bank had already resolved the dispute and removed it from my credit report. HSBC however does n't seem to care about my credit score and their customer service is very slow in responding. I think someone needs to audit the dept that is approving credit card applications at this bank. Especially if they are allowing transactions like this to go through. Other banks would have called to verify or have the stores check photo IDs.
