HSBC Credit Card — False Billing and Harassment

Address:

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

Dear Sir,

I am Vikrant Joglekar and have a very similar experience with HSBC credit card.HSBC has issued me a gold card with xxxx xxxx xxxx 1640 in 2006 promising about a life time free card which I do have used for less than a year, I used to pay the bills well in time till I was using the card. Being an IT professional I moved of the country for some time and stopped using the card.
In Dec 2007 when I was back in India I recived few calls from HSBC saying for some 2000/- as the dues when I checked with them what are the dues for they have not given any satisfactory answer to this I requested them to revert if any annual fees they have leveied on me as it was a life time free card. I also have spoke to there manager from chennai and asked him to cancel the card with immidiate effect as I am not using the same.
Due to my professional requirements I have again moved out of India and have not heard from the HSBC over these years assuming the issue is closed.
Recently I recived a legal notice from HSBC on my parents address stating that they are going to proceed with legal criminal action against me due to non payment of 18000/-
I really cannot understand the fraudulant behaviour of the HSBC, it is very harassing and torturus to get such notices where in HSBC thmeselves have commited a fraud and breach of trust against me.
Please help me in this issue

With Best Regards,
