Credit decision / Underwriting

Mortgage: Conventional fixed mortgage

Complaint: When my wife and I first entered into mortgage loan with HSBC, they guaranteed that we could review and get better rate when available. We had some issues with payments early on but for past 16 months have been timely on our payments and in accordance with their requested cashier payment and monthly payment thereafter. It has been almost 2 years, and they refuse to correct late or overdue fees and will not redo our loan at a competitive rate based on todays mortgage 's. In addition, since they will not correct their records concerning late fees, our credit report with all XXXX agencies have prevented other options to get a new loan elsewhere. The HSBC/HFC local office closed down right after we got our loan and we can not get anyone via XXXX # to understand and tell us what needs to be done to get this mortgage corrected and position for new loan at less than their current XXXX % loan. We have documentation concerning payments and requests to correct issues. Attaching original cashier payment request and following payment. We have current documentation for all payments since the XXXX/XXXX/2013 Notice to Cure Request.

Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Credit card

Debt is not mine
Complaint: A pervious acquaintance made a purchase from XXXX XXXX on credit. A collection company is now trying to collect the debt from me. I am not a party to the debt, nor have I ever been. I requested verification of said debt, and they sent a copy of a statement in which I am not listed. They refuse to stop persuing collection of the debt unless I file a police report for Identity Theft. I do not see any indication that my identity was stolen by the borrower. I contacted XXXX XXXX and was told that I had been put on the account as an " Authorized User '', but I was not a party to the debt.

Closing/Cancelling account

Credit card:

Complaint: My HSBC business accounts were closed by the bank in 2013, so I personally and specifically asked them to close my personal accounts as well. Last month, I received a statement from them for an open credit card account. It had no billed amounts or balances but it showed the account still open. I 'm concerned that an open account with no activity might pose a security risk and I do not wish to take responsibility for that. Also, it could cause trouble for me if I choose to take a mortgage. Should they choose to close it, it could impact my credit at a time that I need it.

Complaint: I have received multiple letters and phone calls from HSBC regarding complaints lodged by me for the way they handled my recent refinance. In each instance they make promises about when they will call and talk to me as well as when I will hear back from them in written form. Once again they do not live up to their promises or meet their obligations. The most recent dates that they committed to and that have come and gone were a return phone call that was suppose to happen on XXXX/XXXX/2015. And letters to me promising a written response back to me by XXXX/XXXX/2015 and again by XXXX/XXXX/2015. None of which happened. I am asking that you please take some kind of legal action against them on my behalf. They are not a reputable company to do business with.

Complaint: I currently have a 30 year decreasing interest rate loan with Beneficial a member of the HSBC Group. I have had this loan since XXXX XXXX, 2005. Under the terms of the loan, my interest rate will decrease by one quarter percent annually if all payments are made on time during the year, which has always been the case. This was done automatically until 3 years ago. For the past three years on my anniversary date the interest rate has not been decreased until I call and write letters to have the issue resolved. Since this has happened for three consecutive years, I feel Beneficial is behaving in a fraudulent manner, hoping I will not hold them to the terms of the mortgage thus receiving a higher than entitled interest rate. I can mail you any paperwork you may need to assist you, I am unable to download anything on the computer. As of this date I am still waiting for the interest deduction after numerous telephone calls and registered letter. Beneficial says they are working on the problem. However, I make my payments on line biweekly and when trying to use their website I am locked out supposedly because they are making updates. Thus I feel they are trying to make me miss a payment so I am in violation of my contract so I can not receive the interest deduction. Please assist me in this matter so I do not have to repeatedly go through this process. XXXX XXXX, 2015

Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Mortgage: Conventional fixed mortgage

Complaint: I have a mortgage that was sold to PHH XX/XX/XXXX and I have had problems with them not processing my payments correctly and in a timely manner. I typically send additional principal payment along with the mortgage amount that is due each month. Mortgage payments can be paid within the XXXX through the XXXX of the month. I use to pay early before XXXX but PHH did n't apply the funds and in fact frequently called me to tell me the mortgage was " late '' because they refused to apply the early funds before XXXX the month. THey did this even though the money was sitting in the account but they simply did n't apply it. To avoid that I pay after XXXX the month before XXXX. My payments are sent through my bank 's bill pay system and the bank record indicates that the money was taken out of the account on XXXX XXXX and posted to the PHH mortgage account, XX/XX/XXXX.The excess payment towards principal was never applied. In fact when I received the statement for the following month the excess amountof {$490.00} was in a " Suspense Balance '' and was not applied towards principal. It was listed as " Partial Payment ( Unapplied ) ''. I contacted XXXX XXXX the PHH representative and she claimed that the payment was applied the following day because the statement was printed before the application of these funds. XXXX statement does n't make sense since the statement clearly shows that the mortgage payment posted on XXXX so why was the extra principal payment not included since all the moneys were sent at the same time? why would an extra payment be applied on a different date than the mortgage payment? Again, it was all sent as a single payment.Lastly, the new statements are issued after the XXXX not early in the month so this is patently false. Although XXXX promised to send evidence that the payment was applied, I have received no such evidence. I am very concerned that the extra payments are not being applied AT ALL and simply pocketed by PHH. XXXX stated I would be receiving a record of my mortgage payments for this year. I have had issues with PHH in the past, such as having a fully paid off HELOC line stay as an outstanding lien on my property for years because XXXX did n't record it as a satisfied mortgage.

Mortgage: Conventional fixed mortgage

Complaint: Dear XXXX XXXX and CFPB representatives, I am submitting a complaint against HSBC because they are not only acting in an unfair and deceptive manner but they are also violating both state and federal laws that afford me certain consumer rights. It is my understanding that HSBC is presently violating FDCPA laws, CFPB laws and regulations, and California 's Homeowner Bill of Rights. I submitted a complete Request for Mortgage Assistance ( RMA ) on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, from HSBC to retain my home ( please see both fax confirmation attached as well as attached email confirmation from HSBC ) without knowing that I had a sale date placed on my file. My single point of contact ( XXXX XXXX ) informed me, through my authorized XXXX party, on Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, that a sale date for XX/XX/XXXX was placed on my file the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that I requested mortgage assistance. XXXX XXXX conveyed that HSBC had not yet reviewed my RMA from XX/XX/XXXX to determine if it was complete or if additional documents were needed but that HSBC required 15 days from the date that my XXXX was processed by HSBC ( XXXX business hour typical turnaround ) in order for HSBC to review my XXXX, which was impossible to achieve. XXXX XXXX further stated that she reached out to me on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, to advise me of the sale date but could not tell me when and stated that the internal tracking system at HSBC did not time stamp her attempt to contact me, which seems suspect at best. THE SALE DATE OF XXXX COUPLED WITH HSBC 'S XXXX BUSINESS HOUR TURNAROUND MEANT THAT THERE WERE ONLY 13 DAYS MAX TO ADHERE TO HSBC 'S TIMEFRAME OF 15 DAYS? THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE! The interesting thing is that I submitted the RMA 16 days in advance of my sale date without even knowing that there was a sale date placed on my file or the timeframe in which I had to adhere to and as of today, I have still not received the required notices for a sale date from the foreclosure attorney, Western Reconveyance. XXXX XXXX, my single point of contact at HSBC, was unfamiliar with the fact that my property was located in California and certainly was not familiar with the CA Homeowner Bill of Rights ( HBOR ), established on XX/XX/XXXX, that affords me relief from dual tracking by stating that, " Mortgage servicers are restricted from advancing the foreclosure process if the homeowner is working on securing a loan modification ... the foreclosure process is essentially paused until the complete application has been fully reviewed. '' I was informed that the CA HBOR affords me these rights even within the 15-day policy that HSBC has in place, even though I believe that I am in compliance. It is also my understanding that the CFPB has similar dual tracking protections that have been violated since I essentially submitted a complete package prior to being informed by HSBC that I had a sale date. I am not asking for special treatment, I am just asking for the RMA that I submitted back on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, be reviewed in full for mortgage assistance ( government and proprietary ) and that the sale date for XX/XX/XXXX, be put on hold to afford me the opportunity to seek mortgage assistance without my consumer rights being violated. I would also like to receive proper notice regarding any escalation in foreclosure since I have yet to receive any documentation alerting me to a sale date or further foreclosure actions and XXXX XXXX XXXX can not provide me with any information regarding this issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter.
