HSBC Bank Credit Card — Membership fee

HSBC offered me Free Creait Card more than three years back now after three year they have issued me a bill of Membership Fee for the current year. When I emailed to Customer Care and Nodal Officer Mrs. Sathya Srinivasan (Email: [protected]@hsbc.co.in) regarding cancellation of card and remove the fee, she replied 'you have to pay Membership fee. '

If I don't want to use card, Why should I pay Fee. My card ends with 2274.

My Dear Friend
I aggre with you now Nodal officer Mrs. Sathya Srinivasan, she is also busy with RBI metting without work ...!@#$%$#^&*&!@#$%~!

Here by just want all of the concerned people in my vicinity (my friends and my relatives and all possible people I associate with) to be informed (rather WELL INFORMED) that NEVER CHOOSE HSBC BANK Credit Card I will never ever recommend any one to go for HSBC bank. Another reason being the ROI was not better compared to other banks when I made the deal, but as my purchase was the last day of month where targets are to be met it was sanctioned with the ROI that was offered by others!

I have made full payment not settlement after they told me we wont give NOC to you because it is against bank policy. HSBC customer care is useless because that bugger unable to give correct information(Simple they are uneducated)
The slogan your The world's local bank ! Looks dull to me – I suggest to change it to The world's local bank

HSBC Bank — Credit card member ship fees complaint

Hi Sir,

I am using HSBC credit card from the year 2006. Every year they charge membership fees but then reverse by calling me. As my card is for life time free as told to me by HSBC executive at the issuing of credit card. This year I have balance transfer my other credit card due i.e. 15000 with HSBC but at the same time they also charged membership fees of Rs. 786. I called & told them to reverse my membership fees but now they are denying this time. In Sep month they told me that to pay balance transfer amount which I had taken from HSBC bank without paying the membership fees. I had pay all their dues except that fees. But now they are sending me reminder for that Rs 786 & also leving late payment fees + taxex monthly. I have received statement yesterday & now amount increase to 2026 Rs. I have already cancelled my credit card on phone but now they are denying to reverse this amount & forcefully pressurize me to pay the whole amount.

When I calling to customer care they are saying we wont be able to help you & told me call their collection deparment phone no. i.e.[protected]. I had call yesterday on this no. & their excutive saying that please call to customer care coz as per their view its a small amount to settle.

I do not understand what to do in this case & who will help me. Could you please suggest & help me on this regard.

Regards,
Varun Sharma

Refer to the statement for the period from 12/10/09 to 11/11/09, surprisingly I have been charged INR 2000.00 as Primary Card Membership Fee. When I took this card it was told by your sales person that this is a 'life time free card', infact I purchased this card because it was absolutely free, why there are these charges?.

Hence pl immediately arrange to reverse these charges under advise to me.

HSBC — Fees

I would suggest people not to bank with HSBC.

They charge a fees of over Rs. 800 per quarter if your average quarterly balance is not maintained.
