Myself Goutham Lakamsani, I used to have an HSBC credit card under the offer of Zero Annual feel and got expired during 2008.

After the card had expired in 2008, I had not opted for any renewal and not placed any such requests. I had also re-located to abroad and recently come back. Now I found from a CIEBIL report that I had an due on credit card, so I called up your customer care and found from them that the card is auto renewed and new card is generated and for the new card an annual payment is charged, by today along with the late fee charges it came up to 5000 Rs.

I had not received this card now and till date I am not aware that a card on my name is in active stage. All the dues are due to the annual fees and there is no usage on the card till now.

I had not placed any request for auto renewal and bank had not asked me for any such thing, on the above of that my card is under Zero Annual fee offer…so though the card got auto renewed no annual fee should be charged on my card.

The Bank charged me without taking my approval and renewed the card without even informing me, I request the bank to remove all of my dues and cancel the card immediately, but they denied it and asked me to pay all the dues immediatly to cancel the card.

Request you to kindly lookinto this and help me to cancel that card and get an No-Dues Certificate

    Hi

    I hold a credit card with HSBC Bank since last few years. 3 years back HSBC card stopped sending me paper statement. I made several calls to HSBC bank for continuity of paper statements. Every time they promised to send the statements as a regular basis but would only send me statements of last months. This led to delay in certain payments and they started levying late payment charges to me, arguing that they dispatch the statements to my email regularly. However, I don'y access email statements given the complexity of accessing them using some kind of complicated password.

    Since last 6 months they have been levying latepayment charges to my credit card. I always make payments for the amount I have expensed minus the late payment charges and the surcharges and interest they have been building on unpaid late payment fee.

    I request you to please resolve this issue. I don't wish to cancel the card, but if HSBC bank fails to provide me with due services, I will have to do that.

    Dear Sir
    This is to bring to your kind notice that the promoters engaged by your bank at Spencer, Inorbit Mall are adopting malacious methodology to trap the customer coming to SPENCER and isuueing credit card making fool of them. On 10th Dec I was also victimised by one of your promoter apponted by you. When I realised that something is wrong as I have given all my documents which is not required for issuing a spencer card. Than I contacted immediately to the person concerned mr. Tantu Mandal whose mobile no is [protected]. He appologiged for the same and promised me to return the document the next day. To your surprise till now on 15.1.2010 at 1.30PM, I have not received anything. Whether due this cheap attitude of some promoters to get some commission from the bank are damaging of two reuted organisation HSBC and SPENCER. May I request you kindly take action against these people and to stop this cheap business. Please reply me at the earliest.
    Sincerely
    Dr.N.P. Sahu

            Dear Vipin
            This is Manoj Garg son of Sh. V.C. Garg who is holding a Credit card of HSBC (Account No. [protected]) from Long time. HSBC Bank is great bank in providing the services even Our Company Ernst & Young also have corporate relation with such bank. I also have opted for new credit card from this Bank.
            But Now my father is facing some problems form HSBC bank services like they have charged one Annual fee charges for Rs 700 in account without our knowledge. While opening the account we were informed that credit Card is totally free. When we requested customer care for reversal for the same but our request was not approved. Then my father ask for closing of account after making all required payments except one Annual fee i.e. Rs 700.
            But till now we are receiving bills from HSBC bank by adding Some finance charges Rs 300 in that pending amount. Now total amount they have made is Rs 9,047 and asking for payment which we do not want.
            Pl. take some corrective actions as we want to maintain good relation with such bank by taking loan from this etc. and I also have applied for Credit card I also do not want to face such problems.
            Waiting for positive reply
            Thanks & regards

              I am holding a HSBC saving account number[protected] where the bank has debited Rs.900 for non-maintainance of minimum balance of Rs.1,00,000. My account is a smart money account and as per the agreement with bank there is no need to maintain any balance. I have already lodged a complaince with the bank 2 months ago and whenever I call up the bank, I am told that the charges will be reversed within next 48 hours but nothing is happening. These banks are all cheater and poor consumers are left with no choice but to get exploited.

                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.

                http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...


                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

                  HSBC Credit Card — Bills for Undelivered card

                  Case History:
                  I purchased a HSBC card xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0165 (and an add-on card xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8492) in july/2006.The expiry date of both the cards were july/2008 and card Limit was 15, 000.The main card (ending with 0165) is against my name and add-on card (ending with 8492) is against my wife's name.

                  I was working in Bangalore when I purchased this card.I quit the bangalore company in December/2006 and joined a company in Mumbai and presently residing in Mumbai.

                  I never used both the cards(main card ending with 0165 and add-on card ending with 8492) and not even done any single transaction on both of them.


                  Complain:

                  Now, I am getting calls from recovery department, HSBC about paying balance of about Rs 46, 000 against a card no. xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0948. They are saying that there is some transaction on this card (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0948) after July/2008.But this card (ending with 0948) is not the one which had parchased earlier.

                  When I verified the HSBC department, they said that HSBC delievered a replacement card xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0948 after the expiry of my card (main card ending with 0165 and add-on card ending with 8492) to the Bangalore (old company) address.But as I had already quit the company and shifted to Mumbai in December/2006, I didnot received this replacement card (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0948) after expiry of my cards (main card ending with 0165 and add-on card ending with 8492).

                  I want to know why HSBC delivered the card without verifying my identity and knowledge. I know that as the Telephone No./mobile No./email Id updated in HSBC record was invalid after December/2006, then they should not have delievered the replacement card.

                  I can understand that the replaced has been misused by somebody.But why should I pay the pending amount as this is a fault of HSBC.

                  I will not pay the amount pending against the card (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-0948) as I am not responsible for all this irregularities. I request you to please look into this matter.

                    I did two transaction on my HSBC Credit card No: [protected] of amount during Oct 2006 Rs:12000 which i had paid full amount next month only and Rs:9000 during 2007 which i took an TataAIG accidental insurance for 12 months EMI. I was not even send monthly credit card bill statements to my given address. I also went to HSBC bank at MG road in Banglore to give complaint about not getting bill to home address and to my personal mail id, but they did not take care. Between march-april 2008 i got a credit card bill statement (After 2 years) saying that i have to pay an amount of around Rs 13000. I also told the Customer care people that whaterever transaction i have done i have paid all amount, but they are not ready to listen. They are telling that whatever the system is showing that only we will consider. . Every 6 months some guy will call and tell to pay, when i tell him to settle will low amount of 3000, then he will not come back. This is happening from last one and half year. I even told those guys that I did not get monthly bill statements, but they are not agreeing and telling that if i will not pay full amount, in future i will not get loans from any Banks.
                    I feel many people are facing such type of situation and banks are looting like anything without even informed. I request you please look into these issue and file complaint against HSBC bank for not sending credit card bills on time and charging with heavy amount .

                    Regards

                      i have pay the full fill payment of my personal loan, for your ready reference please find attach herewith payment proof.

                      Complaint marked as Resolved 

                      HDFC Car Loan — 5% prepayment charges of total amt.

                      i took a h.d.f.c bank car loan for my scorpio car for five years and which i m paying regularly and after completing one year i wanted to prepay the total principal left but got shock of my life when bank informed me that i have to pay 5% of the total principal amount left with other charges. as i was not informed by anybody at the time of giving the loan that they will charge for prepayment also.
                      Private banks have occupied the space of old proverbial mahajans/baniyas (I am one too though only by caste :) ), whereby they do anything possible to fleece the customer and increase their ROI. Prepayment penalty is one such thing.

                      There shall never be a mention of Prepayment charge/ penalty even once at the time of giving a loan. However, most car loans are typically closed at end of 2-3 years in today's enviroment as people change their cars more frequently now. At this time you realise that there was a blank in your loan agreement talking about prepayment charge/ penalty which they did not show you but it got filled sometime after you got the loan and they put this prepayment charge/ penalty as 4-5% (5% nowadays with private banks).

                      I myself worked with a private Bank at the time of taking my car loan and upon asking, I was told that prepayment charge/ penalty was zero for bank employees. However, I did not figure out what'd happen if I left the services of the bank and to my utter surprise, when I went for prepayment I was charged 4% as at that point I was not an employee of that Bank anymore.

                      As such banks are right in charging a prepayment charge/ penalty to take care of fluctutations in liquidity but very often this factor is accounted for in the pricing of the loan itself. A prepayment charge/ penalty is just additional income and given private banks' hold on the market they were able to charge this. Besides, it started with a 2% amount years ago and some smart managers were able to convince top management to hike it to a level where they'd loose brand equity of the bank for short term ROI increase and career appreciations.

                      Today, when SBI is all out to gain market share by offering low rates, these private banks would soon be seen rolling back prices as well as prepayment charge/ penalty to make themselves look more attractive than SBI. However, by that time, millions of customers wouod have been duped by this charge.

                      I plan to take this issue to banking ombudsmen one day and would look for support from people like you. I am putting this also on my blog InvestingMoneyDOTblogspotDOTcom . Do visit and add your remarks too

                      And yes, this forum "consumercomplaints" seems to be a good idea. Would like to see it gaining strenth in protecting consumers from getting fleeced like this. Till such time : "Let the Buyer Beware" :)

                      Besides, I advise you to start negotiating with multiple banks for your loan in order to get rid of this clause plus favourable rates as well. Good Luck
                      i want to clear the personal loan please send the out standing details of my personal loan account as early as possible.i went to your hyderabad (somajiguda) branch somany times but they are not respond properly.So i request you to send the total outstanding statement for prepay.

                          Hello,

                          I have closed my credit card with HSBC in 2005

                          I cut the card in 4 pieces, dropped it in box in Annanagar, Chennai after which I called the call center and informed.
                          I had nil balance at that time.

                          Suddenly couple of months back I got a call that I am due for some amount. I left it without bothering.
                          Last week I got a call from Recovery department of HSBC on this same topicbr...

                          Hi,
                          I had taken an HSBC credit credit card on Dec 2006 and that was expired on Dec 2008. At that period I was informed that there is no sercice charge in my credit card account. I used the card for 2 years and I made all the payment on time. Now after one year they send a credit card bill to my address of amount 2206. After that I discuss this with the customer care executive of HSBC and he is saying this is the service charge,not justified at all, this is a fraud by HSBC bank, they are fraud.

                          Please look into this.........

                          Regards,

                            Details: My card has been closed and subsequently I have to pay the amount as they have put me in defaulter list. I have been confirmed by HSBC that my name has been removed from the defaulter list. Still they have reported the same in CIBIL. Which I consider a clear case of mental harassment and misuse of tool. Due to this I have gone through quite a big financial impact as well.

                            I have applied for home loan transfer with SBI and has been told that "written off" does not go well with bank and thus it must be removed from there.
                            Looking past history and wrong commitments from the HSBC bank, I found consumer forum to be best place to take the cause.
                            I would also like to claim my financial loss with bank and removal of my name from CIBIL immediately as status "closed".

                            Please find the details of one set of correspondence with HSBC.

                            Dear Mr. Farooque
                            As per the discussion we had in our previous telicon, you had told me that the Eureka Forbes transaction had held in
                            the month of Nov. You had also told me that the transaction had held after the card was closed, which cannot
                            happen. The Eureka Forbes transaction has held in the month of April'05, wherein your card was closed in the month
                            of September'05. There cannot be any dispute at all.
                            With regards to your name to be removed from the MCNF this cannot be done until the entire outstanding is paid on
                            your credit card.
                            Thanks & Regards...........

                            Dear Mr.Girish
                            I understand under the perview of any fradulent transaction VISA takes care off and do enquire with the vendor also.
                            The card was blocked or not, is a seperate issue but getting cheated by vendor is also an important issue while
                            using a credit card. I would like to take it up further.
                            However still if you feel that I do not deserve to complain further and take up the issue to authorities responsible of
                            making me victim, I will pay the transaction amount (not the fine and interest) for now and would like to be removed
                            from MCNF.
                            If HSBC fails to address my concern I will take up the issue to appropriate authority to prove my innocence in this
                            case.
                            I am sure HSBC is an esteemed bank and carries good reputation in business world will not use MSNF as a tool to
                            harrass his customers.
                            Would like to hear from you and your suggestions and guidelines.
                            Best Regards,

                            had also a very bad exp with HSBC, they use thired party for selling off their credit cards who will not speak truth at the selling time and says it is a life time free card but actually when u take this HSBC starts sending the annual fees which is 2000 for Gold credit card, I got this card in my office at HSBC free champign and never used. When i saw statment they calulated (don't know about their calcualtion) for otstanding of 9k whic was only their annual fees n all.. I never used this card. When i approached them they reversed it now but they put my name in CIBIL as a defaulter. Now i am stuck for loan and feeling like cheated by HSBC. We should gather and raise this to RBI.

                            I won't suggest anybody to go for HSBC, i[censored] wanna go please read document carefully and take sign also of marketing executie on commitments.
                            And since then, I have done huge transactions with many banks but I never maintained any relation with HSBC. I am happy.

                              I am holding HSBC Gold Crad numbered XXXX XXXX XXXX 8695.On 12/11/2009 the bank have charged Rs.100 two times with service tax as CASH REPAYMENT FEES.I had made all my payments directly in cash to my credit card account at HSBC Branches.Without any prior intimation or notice they have charged 100 rupees plus service tax as CASH REPAYMENT FEES.

                              I cant understand how and why this bank is charging for the payment before the due date.If they are charging for direct cash payment at their branches itself how come the customer will make their payments without loosing their money.

                              For me it seems to be a real cheating.

                              HSBC GOLD CREDIT CARD – [protected]
                              In two installments the out standing amount of Rs.22610.95 which is includes my annual fee for my credit card and additional credit card. I called HSBC customer service in month of April 2010 and asked to close my card. They told me you can pay 19890/- so that card will be closed and remaining annual fee will get closed. I paid that money on two installments. I called customer service again about the status and requested to send closing letter of my credit card but they told me will not give any letter and ensured me in the call you will not get any problem in future. But after 10 months I got letter from HSBC about non-payment of due that too 3500/- is jumped into 10959.92. As per discussion with customer care department the bank have not made the balance amount as zero. Instead they are sending statements demanding an amount and rectify the “Write off” status from CIBIL report. Kindly close the account as per the agreement. And intimate the same to me urgently.

                                I had a phone call received from HSBC Credit Card representative Mr. Deepak Kumar (Phone No.[protected] on 12/11/2009 around 12.50 PM and instructed to clear my dues in my HSBC credit card. I tried to make him understand that I have received a mail from HSBC regarding my disputed charges in my card but he could not understand it and forced me to make such payment and lastly threatned me using abusive words. Ultimately he threatned me that he would send 5-6 people to my residence and collect my disputed payment using muscle power.

                                The original fact was happened on 28/02/2009. I had got a phone from HSBC customer care on that date by informing about their Card Protection Plan (CPP) but I was not interested about that and the said person convinced me by telling that some document would be sent at my address and after confirming from my side they shall debit some amount (I have forgotton that amount). But till date I have not received any document in regard of said card but they have debited the charges and claiming Rs.2230.62.

                                Please advice me at the earliest.

                                HSBC CARDS — Threatening Over Phone

                                Dear Sir,

                                I havent used my HSBC card since 1 year. Suddenly one day HSBC cards guys are calling me and harassing me over phone and threatening to retrieve the money. I havent received any credit card statement since 1 year then how would i know that there is some pending amount in this card. The Legal Advisors of the bank are calling and harassing me. Please Note the No.[protected]. This person is claiming himself to be a legal advisor of the bank and by nature he is threatening me. As per him the bank has tried to contact me but they couldnt reach me. Then how come this legal advisor has got the contact no of mine. I have even asked him to call me from his landline no but he is saying its his wish he is calling from his mobile. HSBC is the worst bank I have ever come across. Please take this as a personal complaint from me and take some strict actions against these kind o[censored]nethical activities. I havent changed my Address & Mail address since the time i took the card. But they claim that I havent updated my address. My question is why should i update my address if i have not changed one? and if the bank has really tried to contact me then why didnt i receive any mail correspondence from them? Pls do the needful.
                                Date: 25th Jan 2010.

                                SUB: Closure of the above card

                                With reference to the above, I have been already decided not to use the card, it was informed to your customer care also for that they have asked me to retain the card for some time but I am still getting the monthly statement without any rectification. There was a dispute on my card which bank has lost my cheque issued for my last but one transaction and asked me to issue a fresh cheque, which I issued a fresh cheque along with my last purchase and for that you have added interest and late payment charges also which I refused to pay.

                                At that time I called your customer service and they said they would reverse the same and they have not done for more than one year and asked me to pay Rs.1100/- now. In between there were lot of communication between your customer service and me regarding the same.

                                Kindly go through my full transaction with HSBC which I never did a late payment and payment would be on or before date itself. I have been informed that I am a reputed client for HSBC several times based on my transactions and given me some privileges.

                                Kindly take the necessary steps to correct the same. I have enclosed my cut card along with this letter and arrange me to get the reward point’s gift for the same. Kindly go through my entire transactions if I need to pay anything which I have purchased I am ready to pay the same without any late payment and interest. Kindly give me a clear account statement for last 5 transactions and payment which I had done.

                                HSBC was my preferred bank so for but now I need to rethink about it.

                                Thanks & Regards

                                HSBC — Unjustified charges after settlement

                                HSBC fails to send the invoices to the undersigned, still gets the payment amount in excess of 16500.00 for July 2009. The matter was reported to HSBC customer care dept verbally and the undersigned was assured that the same will not happen. HSBC fails to send invoices for Aug and the payment was not made on time however was done later after understanding between HSBC and undersigned for the miscommunication. HSBC confirmed undersigned to pay only the amount pertaining to actual expenditures ( around 23,000.00) and leave the additional charges ( around 500.00) as the statement/invoice never reached undersigned.
                                Later next month the invoices are recd with charges additional to previous months charges which kept accumulating as the matter was open and every time HSBC confirmed that next time the invoices show no dues.
                                HSBC corporate office issued undersigned a letter stating no dues in Dec 09 however the invoices still showed monthly cumulative charges and late fees. The matter was never resolved after assurances from HSBC, the amount now exceeds 6000 rupees.
                                Undersigned has sent several email s and made numerous calls to HSBC to resolve this issue. Also the copy of the settlement letter has been sent to HSBC officials over email
                                this is unacceptable as if the HSBC believed that the undersigned was to pay the charges for delays in Aug payments on account of HSBCs failure to send invoices in time then it was to be communicated clearly against HSBCs confirmation to pay due amount without charges over a phone call.

                                HSBC has confirmed to undersigned verbally that the letter issued could be by mistake, HSBC confirms no promise to reverse the late charges in Aug 09 and HSBC confirm no receipt of the documents ( letter of settlement) from undersigned a during discussions in Feb 2010

                                The undersigned never used this HSBC card after Aug 09 and still card as on date is blocked by HSBC.

                                My request is to help me ensure that financial institutions like HSBC do not misuse the setup and support offered to them by banking laws

                                Thanks and regards

                                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 is big cheat in Credit Card ... they dont understand English and lie a lot to the customers.

                                  Contact me at - [protected]@gmail.com , +[protected]

                                  In the month of June'09 i had booked internation tickets worth 39 from Delhi-Singapore return through my HSBC Gold Credit Card. Before booking i called up HSBC Customer Service to know about the HSBC 10 times reward points offer. I asked them that what do i need to tell Makemytrip while booking the tickets. I was told that I dont need to tell them anything, 10 times points will be credited automatically on my credit card. I went through with booking of tickets.

                                  After that i called up HSBC numerous times to confirm when will i get the points and each time i was give the same answer that i will get the points after 4 months. Now when 4 months have passed that they i wont get the points.


                                  Here is the answer given by them
                                  =======
                                  Regarding the marketing offer on your credit card number 4384 5913 xxxx
                                  6047, there ware two offers ongoing on the card account and the Deal
                                  Code for the offer are HSBCFLY and HSBC10X.

                                  1. HSBCFLY which is a cash back scheme
                                  2. HSBC10X for 10 times rewards scheme

                                  The Deal Code to be entered as HSBCFLY for cash back and HSBC10X for 10
                                  times rewards scheme when you transact. You had entered the Deal Code as
                                  HSBCFLY so the cash back of INR 914.00 was credited to your card account
                                  on 15 June 2009 as per the marketing offer.
                                  ========

                                  I sent them below response.. but again they dont read English and never answered my questions and gave the exact same canned response.

                                  ===========
                                  Once again HSBC doesn’t seem to be replying sensibly. Where can a customer enter the Deal Code ? These bookings are done by the Makemytrip agents. See attached terms and conditions on HSBC website and tell me where are these codes written. How does a customer comes to know about these codes.

                                  Is customer given a choice ? I had contacted HSBC several times before and after making this transaction and each time it was confirmed that I will get the 10 times reward points. They had told me that it will be done automatically and I don’t need to do anything.

                                  You guys are real cheat and fool customers.

                                  Infact I have also spoken to one of the persons 2 days back and got same confirmation that points will be credited. For last 4 months you guys are fooling me. This is once again the worst and pathetic service from HSBC Nodal Officer team.

                                  PNR number - 4DN86V

                                  I want the complete 10 times reward points credited by this weekend

                                  HSBC Credit Cards — Incomplete terms & conditions

                                  I have an HSBC Gold card and have a 15 year relationship with them. I have recently availed of a balance transfer facility for a 3 month period. However, I found to my surprise that finance charges had been levied in the first statement, despite paying the 5% minimum balance required.

                                  Nowhere in the Terms & Conditions is any of the following mentioned:

                                  a) A minimum of 5% is payable every month - as I have opted for a zero interest option

                                  b) The processing fees are considered as a purchase and will attract finance charges if not settled along with the first minimum payment ( which is alo not specified).

                                  Despite repeated calls to HSBC and letters through Internet Banking, no one has shown me any proof that these conditions exist.

                                  But I have been lived charges based on verbal communication of conditions which are not mentioned anywhere on paper.

                                  Shame on HSBC. I really do not expect this kind of indifference from one of the world's largest banks!

                                    After the expiry of my previous C.C of HSBC bank, the bank sent me 2 renewed credit cards, which are the following:
                                    4384 XXXX XXXX 5640 -- Abhishek Sharma
                                    4384 XXXX XXXX 7303 -- Abhishek Sharma
                                    Then, I requested them to cancel one card ending with 5640 to them as I had 7303 actively working on my account. After cancellation of 5640, they automatically issued me a new card i.e. 4384 XXXX XXXX XXXX 1767 which has never been delivered to me. As my 5640 card has outstanding amount of 600 Rs so I transferred the due amount on 24th September 2009 on card ending with 5640. The payment got credited back to my savings account due to account closure & without intimating me.
                                    To my surprise, bank transferred my outstanding dues on a non-delivered card which was ****1767. They keep on charging the interest rates without even bothering to send me the statemant for even a non-existent account. The only statement I received in this duration was for ****7303 which was showing zero outstanding.
                                    Straightaway I received a notice from the Manager-Debt Management stating that I'm liable to pay 1566 Rs as the outstanding amount on card ****1767 (mind you this is the card whose number also I dont know before this notice came coz I never got the statement through post/mail or even through the online account I'm holding with HSBC.
                                    My question is why they have not transferred the dues on ****7303 which was the card I was holding if ****5640 had been purposefully cancelled. Why my dues got transferred to a non-existant card & why I did not get any intimation from the bank that my oustanding is so & so. I can never check the status or outstanding amount information on a non-existent card plus this never delievered card does not have my D.O.B & mother's maiden name which forbids me to get any information related to these dues through phone banking as well. I went to branch too a couple of times but to no avail. These guys keep on playing with the honest customers through unfair practises like this, so I urge consumer court to bring them to justice, coz its not merely about 900 Rs more they charged but spoiling the whole business ethics.

                                    The HSBC bank issued me Tata Aig Policy, along with the HSBC Gold Credit Card, I gto the PLocy on 12th March and on 13th March i gave in the request at Tata Aig office for cancellation of the policy, but the HSBC people say that they don't know about this and they even dont synchronize with Tata Aig, in turn i get messages that, I have to pay some amount, its overdue which is because of the premium ammount of the policy and none of it are from my personal expenses, I ahve called HSBC many times around 20 times, but nothing is done till now, this is what a dissatisfactory thing about HSBC is, no response and action.

                                    HSBC — Membership fee levied after cancelling the card

                                    Hi,
                                    I had HSBC Silver card for past 3 years.I never used it.3 weeks back I got a call from an executive telling that my card will be cancelled as it is dormant.I said to cancel it and cut the card into peices.Now I got a bill stating that I ahve to pay for the Annual Membership fee of Rs.700.The cutomer care says that my card is not yet cancelled and I have to pay the bill. I think this is blatant cheating and fraud by HSBC. Since I was under an impression that my card is cancelled I didnt even bother about it. Now all of a sudden they levy Membership fee for a card which was given as lifetime free card to me.
                                    Can anyone tell me what I can do about this.I am ready for a legal battle also.

                                    Regards,
                                    Zaheer

                                    HSBC — Membership fee for non-received card

                                    Hi,

                                    I had HSBC credit card with expiry date of December 2009. I had hardly used HSBC credit card as there is no worthwhile benefits like cashback or internet credit card bill payment. Even for 2-3 days of late payment, a heavy interest used to be charged. So, I decided not to renew the card upon expiry. In December 2009, the bank sent renewed credit card to my address when I did not request them verbally or orally for it. I declined to accept it from courier wala and asked him to return.

                                    To my surprise, I received a bill by end of December for the amount of Rs.2206 (Rs.2000 for membership and Rs.206 for service tax). I mailed the customer care explaining that I cannot pay for a card that I did not receive and asked them to reverse the amount, but I was replied that "Annual Fee is important from a card issuer's perspective, as they allow us to make available, a variety of benefits to our customers. Reversal of annual fee is offered if such a promotional scheme is applicable. We do not have any such scheme at this point of time and we will not be
                                    able to reverse the fee."

                                    I have not paid the amount after the due date. Will this affect my credit history or something? If so, what action can I take?
