[Resolved]  HSBC - Credit Card — THREATS OF FALSE DUES OF LONG LAPSED CREDIT CARD

I was holding a HSBC credit card,which was issued/forced against my wishes at Bangalore in 2005.It was not used even for a single transaction. Then I relocated to JAMNAGAR & then back to Kolkata in 2007.During this period there was absolutely no contact with HSBC.After the card expired in '08,Freak calls started coming from Bangalore & subsequently Delhi to my old Kolkata Landline, originally declared in my permanent address.The caller/s never identified themselves but everytime they demanded a major sum as "finance charge.". There were even suggestions of negotiated settlement, which triggered my suspicion that some FRAUDSTERS within the bank are targetting sparingly used/ lapsed cardholders.This was promptly informed to HSBC customer care by mail,with some numbers identified in CLI.
After this mail, some customer care officer called me and asked me why I cancelled the card. I explained the issue in detail and he flatly refused to accept my charge & advised me to settle the issue. However the calls stopped for more than a year.
Now, I am out of the country for some time & will continue to be here for some time.My wife, an aged ailing lady,has again started getting threat calls in our same old landline from some telephone numbers in Delhi stating that I owe HSBC more than Rs 20,000, which if not settled immediately,she is goping to face dire consequences.As of today(24/11/09),she has received at least 6 calls in abusive language, and insisting her for my o/seas phone no., failing which they are going to raid our house with Debt collectors.My wife has totally broken down & needs medical attention. I would like to know who can help an aged ailing lady, being mentally tortured & harassed over phone from a leading global bank like HSBC

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.

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.

Now ask yourself is this the Bank for you in India.

So if you would like to contact me and send me your phone number I will call you personally.

Kind regards
Michael
