HSBC Bank — Levied hidden charges which was not informed before

Please allow me to introduce myself my name is Michael Mason-Mahon and I am a shareholder of HSBC Plc. I am based in London yet I am a very regular visitor to India.

At HSBC Annual General Meeting of Shareholders 2010 I did address my concerns with the Board of Directors concerning what HSBC India has been doing and is doing in India to our customers.

I may be able to help you. I can assure you that I will do all that I can to help you. I have been very successful in the people that I have taken up their cases with HSBC. Now they will not let me help anymore Indian's. You may wonder why, ask the Chairman of HSBC Plc Mr Flint why?
I am still helping people in India

Please go to this site. This is an interview that I did concerning HSBC.

If customers UNITE in India and decide to leave HSBC India in support of their fellow Indian's, who are making complaints about HSBC India then this may make HSBC Plc take action.
They talk about their Global Footprint and their Integrity. Please look at the following sites and see what the Indian people are saying about HSBC behaviour towards them.

HSBC — levied charges without informing

I have a salary account with HSBC when i was working for HSBC call center in Banerghatta. When i quit the company i had been to the HSBC branch i was told that because a salary account is a zero balance account there is no need for me to maintain a balance in the account. Also i was informed if my company contacts the bank they would have the account closed because i no longer work with the company. The account was never closed. Nor was i charged any charges. However on 01/07/2011 Rs.1065.32 was debited from my account stating these were charges for not maintaining a minimum balance in the account. I was not intimated of these charges in advance, instead i was misled to believe that there would be no charges whatsoever if i had a zero balance. When i spoke to the call center for the bank i was told that this is a standard charge and will be levied on to the account and there is no need for the bank to inform customer's about these charges (called on 01/07/2011). I was not informed when the account was converted from a salary account to a standard acccount. No salary has been credited in the account for over 24 months and there was never a charge on the account. This account was only used for the purpose of making hsbc credit card payments as it is not possible to set up a direct debit for credit card from any other bank other than hsbc.i am complaining because i had deposited Rs.2100 as payment for my credit card and the bank has taken half of the amount in charges. Now i would have to pay charges for my credit card also because i dont have enough time to deposit extra money into the account as the due date is 02/07/2011.
