Consumer Complaint: A debt collector contacted my elderly mother, who has a XXXX, at her telephone number. She was told that there was a warrant for my arrest and that I was due to being arrested any minute, if I did not contact them. She was told that she had XXXX minutes to contact me and have them contact them so that I could be arrested wherever I was located at. She contacted me at work and I then contacted the company. Meanwhile, my brother had to take my mother to the doctor due to her XXXX. When I contacted the company, a representative told me that I needed to make payment immediately and he would then terminate my warrant of arrest. I paid them with whatever I could and am now making hospital payments for my mother. I believe this was very unethical on the companies behalf and should be disciplined for verbal abuse and domination over something that does not originally belong to them.

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, I had emergency surgery, I was out of work for weeks. My mortgage is with HSBC. I applied for a loan mod and was denied. my interest rate is 9.8 %. I refinanced with HSBC in XX/XX/XXXX and they told me to make my payments on time for a year and then they would refinance me. One year later I called them to refinance and their response was, that in XX/XX/XXXX they closed all of their offices except the main office, and they were not doing any loans. They knew this, when I refinanced with them in XX/XX/XXXX, in other words they told me a bare faced lie! Now i 'm XXXX and am self-employed and I do n't want to lose my home, but am strapped tight. When I had my surgery, I lost a customer and have n't been able to replace them. My payment with HSBC is {$140000.00} a month. I need help and I could afford a lower payment and meet all my other bills and needs. I have called every finance company possible and they all tell me the same thing my debt ratio is too low. My credit score is fair. I feel that something needs to be done about HSBC. It seems like they would n't want me to foreclose and work with me and their other customers, instead of losing money. I checked on HSBC and their are a lot of scams that they have done to many of their customers. I just do n't understand how they can continue to get by with this. I cant apply for the HARP program because my loan is n't owned by XXXX or XXXX. The economy is going up all the time and I need help! Thanks, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: Hello in XXXX of 2015 I submitted a web application that said I was preapproved for a basic checking account with HSBC. I was then declined. Customer support said I needed to hard pull my own credit report and then send it in to them for a deposit only basic checking account. After several weeks I then called them with my credit report and they said that instead I needed to reapply. I reapplied and received another pre approved status. This after several more weeks was declined again. They said that it was because they thought I would use it for business purposes. This was obviously false. I needed XXXX factor web banking and a bank that I could physically walk into a branch internationally if necessary. I had numerous other checking accounts in good standing as well. I have never mismanaged a deposit account and I have excellent credit. I then reapplied for HSBC premier. This was then forwarded to security and fraud based out of the XXXX subsidiary. They requested additional documentation that deviated from their stated acceptable identification. I supplied what they asked for anyway. HSBC then failed to communicate with me and apparently allowed my application to expire stating they were unable to verify my identity. My documentation exceeds XXXX requirements. Previously I moderated XXXX and have an extensive track record of accurate predictions regarding financial, economic and geopolitical events. This includes but isnt limited to every major fed QE and rate decision since the financial crisis, the recent pullback in XXXX, numerous XXXX decisions and many others. The fact that a preapproved basic checking account is being declined for someone who has never mismanaged a deposit account and has excellent credit undermines confidence in HSBC 's ability to competently conduct basic banking activities and the security of its current deposits.

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX, My father, XXXX XXXX, passed away, XXXX XXXX, 2014. I have been living in his home for XXXX years taking care of him, until he passed. Also living with us where, my son, his wife and my Grandson. Upon my fathers death, I notified ( HSBC ) Beneficial, sent them death certificate, and explained to them I was willing to take over the debt with a lower payment, or do whatever what needed to keep this home. First they refused to speak with me. Then they have been requesting paperwork after paperwork, to which I keep faxing over and over. They keep stating they do not receive them. I have also sent the Executor paperwork and notarized relinquishment papers from all XXXX of my brothers. I gave them the Estate attorneys information, and they refuse to speak with the attorney. After all this time, they now tell me the home is in foreclosure status, without even notifying me in writing. But will notify me of a date to vacate the property. The only other thing they continue to tell me is " This is not your debt, this was your fathers debt, and you should not be responsible for it ''. My mother designed this home, my father built this home, and I was raised in this home. I gave up a home and property to come back to take care of my father, who was ill. I spent all of my savings to keep this place going. Now they wo n't even give me and my family a chance to keep it, now they want to throw us out on the street. All because " it 's not my debt! " They do n't seem to care that XXXX people will be homeless! This is ridiculous, when I have tried to work with them for over a year to adjust payment, or get a new loan in my name to pay for this house to keep it in my family, and to keep XXXX people from being without a home. Apparently, they like taking peoples homes and leaving them on the streets. This is not the AMERICAN way to do business people!

Consumer Complaint: I am trying to clear the " cloud '' on my title to a lot purchased by us in a foreclosure XXXX years ago which now shows a lien ( equity line of credit ) perhaps owed to Beneficial Finance and dating from a stated fraudulent document created in 1997 to a former man ( who also states under affidavit that he never owned lot nor signed line of credit documents ). The title company handling the escrow, my attorney, and myself can get no response of either Beneficial Finance Co. Payoff Dept., or Household Finance Co ( their successor? ) and have requested a Reconveyance XXXX times since XX/XX/XXXX. We have no other information regarding the proported lien. We suspect it was some sort of scheme to keep Beneficial Finance from having to pay the Homeowners ' Dues. But I never received any notification of anything at all from Beneficial Finance -- and it 's been XXXX years. To date they have ignored all requests for Reconveyance so that the property can complete its sale with a clear title.
