Issue: Problem when making payments
Subissue: Problem during payment process
Consumer Complaint: Please find enclosed printed account records to support the following problem with my accounts. On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I made a mobile/Internet Banking transfer of {$1000.00} USD from my HSBC Premier Checking account # xx-xxxxxxx to my HSBC Premier XXXX account # XXXX, Transaction Reference # XXXX. As the records indicate the amount was debited from the Checking account but was not received in the XXXX account. This has affected the balance as now incorrect and caused more interest to be charged than should have been. Would you please look into this matter at your earliest possible opportunity and post the corrected amount to my XXXX account and adjust the interest payment. Sincerely,

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Subissue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX began contacting family members of mine who I have not spoken to in years and who do not live anywhere near me in XXXX of XXXX about a debt. They claimed that I was facing serious legal repercussions and threats of court if the family member did not have us contact XXXX XXXX right away. After contacting them and asking them repeatedly not to call they stated this was for a debt incurred over 6 years ago through HSBC. I asked them to send written proof of the debt to me in the mail, which I have yet to receive ( I requested this over a month ago ). About a week passed and they called again threatening to take everything I own, including my truck. They said the debt was a credit card through HSBC. I once more asked for written proof, which they demanded that they sent to me. They then emailed me a settlement form and said if I did n't sign it in within a few days that they would come and take my truck. I called HSBC and they had no record of this debt, nor is the debt appearing on my credit report. I asked XXXX XXXX XXXX about this and they claimed that it wo n't be on my credit report because they just purchased the debt? They continue to call and harass me and my distant family members demanding that this {$300.00} debt be paid in full.

Issue: Closing an account
Subissue: Funds not received from closed account
Consumer Complaint: I had a checking account at HSBC that I funded in the XXXX 's. My branch is located in XXXX XXXX, Florida. A few years back HSBC decided to close my account. Upon closing they gave me a check in the amount of over {$100000.00} for the balance in my name. The issue is that they would not wire the money to my foreign account, as I am a foreigner, and when they cancelled my account it made it so that other banks in XXXX will not open an account for me. Therefore HSBC has been holding on to my money for years and refuses even after being contacted by my attorney to wire my funds to me. HSBC can not dictate how I receive my funds, and if they are allowed to only give me a check I may never receive these funds. I have not only lost these funds but the interest and growth from its use so I am substantially damaged.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Consumer Complaint: I was searching for a ticket on XXXX from XXXX to XXXX in XXXX XXXX and found a ticket and booked it using my HSBC credit card. The merchant ( XXXX ) advertised the ticket as single itinerary on XXXX, but they booked it as 2 separate itineraries. Breaking a itinerary into multiple itineraries is deception, and it creates multiple issues with baggage, connecting flights, and visa requirements in transit country. If 1st flight is delayed, then 2nd airline does n't give me a automatic seat on next flight. The airline taking me from XXXX to XXXX could not see in their system that my trip was ending in XXXX not XXXX. And airline taking me from XXXX to XXXX could not see in system that my trip was starting in XXXX. Both the airlines in the itinerary told me that they could not see the other airline. XXXX deceived and frauded me. XXXX refused to fix their mistake or to refund the money, so I filed dispute with HSBC credit card department within 5 hours of receiving this 'deceptive ' itinerary from XXXX. HSBC agent advised me to book another ticket while they work on the refund. So then I booked another itinerary using my XXXX credit card, and completed my travel. In XXXX XXXX, HSBC refused to remove charge or do chargeback saying merchant XXXX XXXX XXXX had won the dispute, and that I would have to sue XXXX in XXXX XXXX court directly to recover the funds.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, a lady called my elderly mother and told me I was going to be served court papers within XXXX hours and to make sure I was home. This was a case of fraud against me. She gave her a number I could find out more information and I called this number. She told my mother that I had given them my mothers name, addres, and phone number. My mother was in a panic. When I called the guy told me he could dissolve this out of court if I paid monthly for XXXX months and put XXXX down today. However, they said the debt was for XXXX on a credit card from HSBC. XXXX problems with this : I have never given my mothers name phone number or address to anyone except my employer as the emergency contact. I have never had a bank account from HSBC nor a credit card from this bank and I have lived overseas in XXXX for the past XXXX years with XXXX accounts in United States for the past XXXX years. I havent even visited United States in the past XXXX years. While I am a US citizen I have lived exclusively in XXXX and XXXX for my job for the past XXXX years. I diligently check my credit report from the writer states often to make sure that theres nothing on it and at no time in the past XXXX years have I ever seen anything from HSBC bank or from any other bank to suggest that identity has been stolen or that any type a valid account has ever been defaulted on. The phone number they told me to call was XXXX. When I figured out it was a scam I threatened to report them to the authorities and he used very XXXX language and called my mother a very XXXX name.
