Issue: Closing/Cancelling account
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: Dear Sir / Ma'am, I had been a credit card holder of HSBC for years. On XXXX XXXX, I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 from HSBC indicating that my credit card account had been terminated. The letter stated that I must send balance payment to such account of which I did. However, HSBC would not allow me to claim gifts or reimburse me for the points I had earned by using the card. I called but was notified that HSBC would only allow existing customers to claim prizes through the points. The issue here is I have XXXX points which is equivalent to a value of {$1700.00}. No advance notice was given to me prior to their decision of shutting down my credit card account, nor had HSBC automatically converted these points to credit my account. I do not agree with the banks improper decision of terminating my account without giving me ample time to manage my earned points. I appreciate your attention to this issue and look forward to receiving your comments / help in order to get back what I own.. Thank you,

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX contacted me regarding a charged off HSBC. I advised the collector that I did not believe the debt was collectible because it was already charged off. I requested debt validation via phone, fax, and mail. I never received anything and they stopped contacting me. They then obtained a default judgement. I was never served. They never validated the debt. My paycheck was garnished and when I contacted my employer I was notified that my paycheck would garnished for 25 % until the debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX is paid. I contacted XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX and she said I owed {$1700.00} as of XXXX XXXX, 2015 and interest was still accruing. I asked her to validate the debt and she advised me it was from a XXXX XXXX collection on an HSBC account ending in XXXX. I advised her that XXXX XXXX never validated the debt and demanded that XXXX XXXX XXXX validate the debt, in writing, and asked how they received a garnishment order without a court order. She said it was public record. I asked her to forward me a copy of the judgement. She declined. I have medical issues that are exacerbated by stress and I just wanted to be done with this nightmare. I offered {$1000.00} but she declined and countered with {$1200.00}. ( The most I have ever owed HSBC was {$630.00}. ) I agreed and offered to pay with a debit card. She refused and said she HAD to have my checking account routing and account number in order to make the agreement. Against my better judgement, I contacted my bank for the routing number and discovered {$820.00} had already been garnished from my paycheck. I called XXXX back and asked her to draft a written agreement that the account would be paid in full once the remaining {$430.00} was paid. She refused, saying that the amount garnished does not affect the {$1200.00} settlement amount. I refused to give her the checking information and she said they would continue with the garnishment. To date, my wages are being garnished, the debt has not been validated, the actual amount owed is unknown, I 'm not even sure it is my account, and I do n't know how they got a judgement without my knowledge.
