Consumer Complaint: XXXX is trying to collect on a debt that has reached the Statute of Limitations. In the letter that was mailed to me, the date of debt was purposefully obfuscated. I called absolute Solutions and I was told that the statue of limitations on the debt had expired. XXXX XXXX was rude and disrespectful when I called to resolve the debt.

Consumer Complaint: I opened a checking account with HSBC bank in XX/XX/2016, and signed up with a promotional offer for a {$350.00} bonus upon meeting billpay criteria. I completed the requirements in early XXXX. The terms said that it may take 4-8 weeks after completion to receive the credit. I waited 8 weeks and contacted HSBC customer support. They keep saying to wait, or that they are investigating. I have now contacted them 5 times, over the course of 5 weeks, with no resolution in sight.

Consumer Complaint: I opened a bank account with HSBC in XX/XX/XXXX and was told that I would get a promotion bonus as long as I did 2 bill pay over each billing period for the next three cycles. My month statements ends on the XXXX of each month. I did 2 bill pay on XX/XX/XXXX, 2 on XX/XX/XXXX and 2 on XX/XX/XXXX. When i messaged to ask about the bonus not posting, i was lied that the bonus was for bill pay over three different months, not three billing statements, which is clearly a lie, as I was told in person by the banker it would have been over the billing statements. I met the requirements as the bill pay i did fell in three different billing cycles, but HSBC refuses to pay the bonus. They should be ashamed by lying to people for fake bonuses, and then changing the requirements.

Consumer Complaint: I had signed up with an account at HSBC, which promised a {$350.00} promotional credit upon completing some easy requirements. The terms of this promotion are available online at : XXXX. I had asked if the bill pay requirement would be every calendar month or every statement cycle, and was told that it is based on statement cycle. I opened the account on XX/XX/2016 and completed XXXX bill pay transactions on three continuous statement cycles, however I did not receive any bonus. When I ask customer service about it, I keep getting the same canned response telling me the terms of the promotion.

Consumer Complaint: I opened a HSBC choice checking in XXXX through a sales rep over the phone and was confirmed that I was eligible for a {$350.00} promotion offer for opening the account. 4 months down the line, I even got the rep at HSBC acknowledge that I was guaranteed to get the {$350.00} and that I could store his chat for records. Today, I received an email from HSBC stating that I had a credit card that they closed in XXXX due to non activity. I was informed that because of a credit card that I became ineligible for the bank promotion. This was never informed during account opening and it seems like a bait and switch on the part of HSBC. If it was an issue, why wasnt i informed when I opened the account when I gave my SSN and all other supporting documents to open my bank account. I should have been ineligible at that time as well but on the contrary they even confirmed that I should get my bonus by XX/XX/XXXX. I would like to get my {$350.00} promotion

Consumer Complaint: I have been trying for several years to access my HSBC account. First, I tried to withdraw my money from an ATM, only to learn that my ATM card did not work. I went inside and was told I could only be assisted over the phone because I had opened my account online. Once I called, I was told that my account was locked because I had not accessed it. I asked for it to be unlocked and was told that I would have to submit a letter with photo ID. I sent this in but never heard back and, to be honest, forgot about the account. Then, in XXXX of this year, I received a form that my account was in dormancy status and would be turned over to abandoned property if I did not complete the form, have it notarized and return it. I did this step and mailed it on XXXX XXXX. Today, after receiving an email from the bank that my statement was available, I tried to login, but can not do so. I called and spoke to XXXX ( employee ID XXXX ) who verified all of my information and then told me that my account was still in dormancy status and that there was no record of the form I had returned. He further said that there was nothing that he could do other than send me another copy of the form I had already completed and returned. I know that my balance in this account is {$310.00} and all that I am trying to do is retrieve my money.

Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: We are negotiating to purchase a property in XXXX New Hampshire, USA. We live in XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Lender is HSBC International. With two weeks to go before closing, HSBC says the underwriter needs repairs performed on the home before they will close and transfer title. The seller, XXXX/XXXX says the house is being sold " as is '' ( Bank Owned, Foreclosure ) and will not allow repairs to take place prior to closing. Neither side will budge. HSBC gives us no time to secure alternative financing and we risk loosing this home and our deposit of {$5000.00}. We provided everything they asked for in a timely manner but HSBC has dragged their feet, not answering or returning phone calls or emails in a timely manner. We offered to HSBC for us to put funds for said repairs into escrow allowing them to be confident that said repairs would take place after closing but they refused this offer. We feel we have been deceived as we have been pre approved for the mortgage, are putting 30 % down and putting {$10000.00} into a HSBC bank account for the life of the loan. The value of the home as it sits is far greater than the amount we are borrowing. XXXX pre approved for {$70000.00}, financing circa {$55000.00} ) We are devastated that we and everyone involved have put so much time and effort into this transaction only for it to fall apart at the eleventh hour. We have escalated this with HSBC asking a manager to take our case back to the underwriters but feel that HSBC does not have a sense of urgency and are giving us the brush off. This is not the " World Class Service '' that HSBC advertises. This is an XXXX, we have fell in love with, and do n't want to loose it.
