Consumer Complaint: I continually receive a phone call stating that " this is XXXX XXXX and I need to discuss your file. I need to talk to you before I submit your case to the county processor. It is important that I talk to you immediately regarding the file I have received. '' Then the calls started to some friends of mine and the same message was being left on their answering machine and they asked me why they would be calling their house? I don't even know their home phone number. So I call and talk to XXXX XXXX and he informs me its in regard to a credit card that was opened in 2009 and that the balance is over {$3000.00} so how am I going to take care of that today, I relay to him that I have been homeless and am unable to settle that amount and the phone calls need to stop this is an official cease and desist! His remark was " well if your homeless I'm sure you didn't go to law school so you don't know what your talking about. How are you going to settle this debt. '' Furious I just stated " i'm not! '' I was so mad at his comment that is the only thing I could say. " He said " if your refusing to pay then let it be on your head '' and hung up the phone. Circumstances exist that place all types of people in homeless situations. Degrading my living situation is not an acceptable way of trying to collect a debt.

Consumer Complaint: I recently moved all my cash from my checking account in HSBC and emailed my banking representative to close the account at HSBC. HSBC did not respond but instead charged me an account fee. I contacted HSBC and they refused to close my account due to the balance. By doing this, they failed to act upon my request for closing account and unfairly demand a fee.

Consumer Complaint: I opened a checking account with HSBC and deposited {$1500.00} on XX/XX/2018. I was taking part in a promotion that gave a bonus of {$200.00} if I kept a balance of at least {$1500.00} for 90 days. The bonus was to be deposited into my account 4-8 weeks after the 90 days. It has been more than 8 weeks, and I was told today via phone and chat that it would be another 4 weeks due to a technical glitch. This is not acceptable to me, but I was told nothing could be done about it. I would like the bonus to be deposited to my account immediately.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX levied by bank account with XXXX XXXX XXXX for over {$5900.00} which was all the money I had to live on as a XXXX and XXXX Veteran. They claimed that they bought a " discharged '' debt originally owed by XXXX XXXX/ XXXX who charged off the debt in XXXX and received a tax credit from IRS ( {$4000.00} ) and then sold this old discharged debt to XXXX XXXX in XXXX for pennies. XXXX XXXX filed a civil suit and never serve me and got a default judgment in XXXX. Now 5 years later they secured a Writ to levy my account which they have and now I do not have any money to live on. I contact XXXX XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX at XXXX-XXXX-XXXX who was very rude and said she didnt care about my situation and said that I needed to pay them the full balance of {$13000.00} or they would come to my house to collect the money. I told them I didnt remember having any credit account with XXXX XXXX/ XXXX but she didnt care and in fact said that is my problem and didnt have any information about the type of debt it was. XXXX XXXX XXXX will not release back my money without XXXX XXXX authorizing so I can not my mortgage or buy food or medication I need for my XXXX.

Issue: Closing your account
Subissue: Can't close your account
Consumer Complaint: I am trying to close my account with HSBC and was informed today that the process of account closing is done entirely without documentation -- it is done verbally, over the phone. This is incredibly bizarre to me. I asked for any kind of documentation for my own records about closing the account and was told there is none. That is really shady, even for HSBC.

Consumer Complaint: This is in response to XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX. ( XXXX ) CFPB response to complaint XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX. I have several issues/concerns with this response. 1- XXXX never addressed the illegal trespassing on private property. 2- XXXX XXXX alleged validation of debt is unacceptable. XXXX is a servicer and/or debt collector. XXXX is not the alleged note holder and has yet to provide any documentation from the alleged note holder providing proof of their security interest ; i.e. assignment documentation. 3- In the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) provided in the response by XXXX , an " out building '' was used in the assessment. This building is not even on the property of the subject property that was being assessed. Not to mention the entire XXXX is based on the wrong property as described in the mortgage documents. XXXX continues to inflate the price of subject property in a fraudulent manner. 4- XXXX XXXX XXXX states the subject property has an estimated value of {$100000.00}, yet they forced placed insurance on the property in the amount of {$230000.00} in coverage from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX , XXXX. named as the first insured ( Policy # XXXX ). This is not only unethical, it's illegal. 5XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX stated they provided me a copy of all origination related documents pertaining to account # XXXX. This was false and a misrepresentation of the facts. The documents included : Customer Application, Loan Agreement Including Truth-in-Lending Disclosure, Notice of Right to Cancel, Recorded Mortgage, Good Faith Estimate, HUD Settlement Statement, Servicing Transfer Disclosure Statement, Hazard Insurance Disclosure, Waiver of Escrow and Origination Appraisal. However, in XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX response they included a document entitled " Arbitration Rider '' as part of the alleged loan documents. I have never seen this document and XXXX has never provided it to me as a result of my numerous inquiries. As a result, I would like XXXX to explain why it was not sent with the documents requested and provide a copy of the document and any other document ( s ) they neglected to send me in their XX/XX/XXXX correspondence. Either the document does not exist and XXXX fabricated it, or XXXX has once again been negligent in performing their duties. Please advise, I continue to assert XXXX continues to act in a fraudulent manner and misrepresents their legal abilities as a servicer/debt collector.

Consumer Complaint: The company should have closed the account as request in XX/XX/2018 after the {$5700.00} payment. This was because the authorized purchaser on the account, XXXX XXXX, was in a nursing home, her card was missing and because of that I did not want any more charges on the account. This situation was explained when I closed the other accounts with HSBC as well. Instead the company allowed charges and let interest accrue then charged late fees and more interest. I have tried to settle this matter several times with HSBC and each time, they provide misleading information and refuse to acknowledge receiving the notification I detail above. Yet, in XX/XX/2018, they contacted me to tell me of suspicious charges, which I confirmed and again asked why the account was still open. Currently they are doing this with a debit card on a checking account with XXXX XXXX as a co-owner that I have asked them to shut down several times and they have ignored my request. I have asked them to cancel that debit card, just as I asked them to close this master card account and my requests get ignored and then HSBC refuses to do anything to correct the situation and the now useless CFPB will not do anything so I was advised by the House Government XXXX XXXX XXXX to continue filing until CFPB starts doing its job and banks start complying so I am filing again and hopefully either the CFPB will do its job or the House will make them do their job. Each of these complaints with nonsense responses goes to the House XXXX XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a XXXX XXXX position at the company XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I was contacted a few days later with a scheduled interview. It was an online interview for 30 minutes. I was supposedly selected then a few days later I was sent a check to purchase office equipment for my home. I went to my bank on XX/XX/19 and asked the teller " do you think this is legit? because I am not familiar with positions like this ''. I was told that if the check goes in my account it should be good to go. XXXX contacted me and asked if I was ready, I said no because the money isn't in my account and they said it should be there by tomorrow the latest. I checked and it was there so I thought everything was legit. My next step was to go to my bank and get a cashiers check and take that check to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I explained the situation again " does this seem secure because I am not familiar with this kind of business '' but I didn't receive any warning. I did all this by XXXX on XX/XX/19. The people were suppose to deliver the equipment to me by XXXX. Something told me to check my account. I checked, the funds from the check was gone along with that same amount from my bank account. I called my bank, they told me to go to XXXX XXXX XXXX and stop the check. I got there at XXXX and told them to please stop the check, something is wrong with this transaction. The lady at the branch told me that it was already scanned. Now here I am. I have been trying to get to the bottom of this with XXXX XXXX XXXX, they sent me a few forms to get signed by my bank ( HSBC ) but they keep telling me that they can't sign anything. I am trying to get to the next step with this issue but my bank is not assisting me so now am trying to see what I can do to resolve this issue.
