You are idiots. It is written clearly in the Section 5 Deed of Trust of your mortgage agreement that your mortgage company can monitor the funds as they see fit. They can require documentation and inspections and send out draws in 3rds, 50% or however they please. If you wan the work to get complete, it is best for you comply and send in the paperwork and endorsed claim checks for your money. Get the inspections done and get more funds. The more you're on top of this the faster and easier things will flow. Being a whining A$$ will not help you any and your file/paperwork/funds may get lost in limbo for periods of time. Just do it. Stop whining, after all...you signed an agreement. And, if you don't remember reading that Deed of Trust portion, it's no one else's fault, but your own. Have fun and get your paperwork in to fix your house.

I just spent 45 min. being put the mill. just to get hardship paperwork finally was told they do not mail out hardship papers. this is by far the worst place to get financed by. no help at all. trying to get mortgage modified so i can afford to keep my home the one my children grew up in. with this company its even crazy to try. worst place ever to do business with.

I communicated to HSBC concerning my medical health and financial challenges that I was having. They told me they would help me but modified my mortgage for an even greater amount than I could afford. I informed them and was told there was nothing they could do to help me. Then without an warning I received a letter in the mail that my home was up for sale. They foreclosed on me without a warning or any communication. They are not true to their word and should not be trusted.

my mortgage company sold my account to hsbc and nightmares started. i receive a foreclosure notice and i called them right away and ask them why i am in for foreclosure? they told me that i have 3 months payment pass due, when the hearing comes i showed it to the judge and told her that we are not behind payment and i have the proof that my check they have cashed.. the judge agreed with me and told them (hsbc) crazy that we are not behind payments so, the judge said she will re schedule another hearing. but after that, every time i send my payment every month they return my check to me with derogatory stamp. after about 6 months i have to hire attorney and he told me to file bankruptcy they want your house. there nothing you can do. bad company.. never deal with them..

Turn and run away as fast as you can! I have filled out four hardship packets now and have asked multiple times for a loan modification only to get the run around for the last two years. I lost hours at work and took a reduction in pay due to the economy. I saw this issue coming and asked for help back then, but all I got and continue to deal with is being pushed off to new loss mitigation employees every time I call. I NEVER get any phone calls returned even though I am continually promised a call back. This company is not reputable and definitely doesn't care about it's customers.

I've been calling them and leaving messages to call me back and they never do. I feel they are leaving me in the cold and the one time I talked to some one about a loan modification they acted like they did not know what I was talking about. I even had a counselor from hope now talk to them no luck. So after losing my job I am in pre-foreclosure after 11 years of good payments I just found a new job. Now they can't even call me back.

I'm an employee @ HSBC doing Collections for Mortgages/Personal Home Loans/ and Non Real-Estate Loans... and from my personal experience every single customer that has given me the opportunity to work with them I have been able to work out some type of solution to get them back on track. Whether it's a loan modification, payment plan, etc. I do everything in my power to help my customers keep their homes/avoid foreclosure/ and avoid any other problems.. I've talked to several customers that feel as if they've talked to 100 people but nothing is ever done.. if you feel that way.. call the phone# on your statements and request to speak to a manager and see if you can't get things taken care of that way.. I take pride in my job.. yes it is collections.. (and its hard to call someone and ask for money when they are having so many different problems at home) but at the end of the day when I leave I know that every single person I spoke to that day I've been able to help in one way or another.... so there is help out there it's just a means of who you talk to and how passionate they are about their job... and for those of you who have had a bad experiences with collectors being rude and so forth.. I will apologize not for them or for the company, but just for the simple fact that everyone at one point in time will go through a rough spot in life and no one deserves to be talked down to, or degraded... AFS note: It is nice to know that there are still some caring and compassionate people at HSBC. We applaud your efforts and please continue to have a passion for what you do.

worst company to deal with, my house went into foreclosure because after the modification they jacked up my payments where I couldn't afford it, opted for a short sale and a deed in leu of foreclose sent in all the documents asked for and haven't heard anything from HSBC, phone calls are un-answered, they stopped the sheriff sale and wrote off the majority of the loan but turned $29,000 over to a collection agency to harass me for, still no call from HSBC and no one will return my call, I moved months ago. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with, steer clear of HSBC and its counter parts

I know that I signed the paperwork, and I only fault myself for not reading it as well as I should have. But I did ask questions and come to find out all I got was lies from my broaker and the title company. I found out two years after being in my house that I was in an ARM loan. although this was a shock and not something i was wanting, I figured that I would have to stick it out. I have been current on all of my payments (just like everyone said you are suposed to do) and I have exelent credit (just like everyone said you are suposed to have) and now I have been denied twice for a loan modification. all I am asking for is to not adjust so high that it would be imposible to pay. It makes no sence to me why a bank would not want you to keep paying already high interest on a loan that is totaly inflated (and I am willing to do that), but instead would rather have you fourclose and loose a loan worth $300+ and sell it at auction for half to a person that they dont even know is going to pay either. I have tried to be as honorable as possible, keep my word, and pay my debts. but this is impossible. I am trying to do a short sale currently but as far as I have heard, they are not willing to do that either. I dont want to but I am going to be forced to forclose.

Terrible. They have never really tried to work with me. Scammed me into taking all my savings and 401k to stay current as long as I could while trying to sell my house at the time...they promised me that if I got to a point where I couldn't pay anymore they would restructure and I'd be a approved for a hardship once I went 60 days past due. Once I did, they gave me the run-around for two more months going back and forth with more info and financial documents only to be denied for a hardship/restructure and was given a foreclosure date of 30 days after that. My husband left me shortly after we purchased the home and without his income, I could not make the mortgage payments. I have tried to sell the home but was unsuccessful in this market. I am am single Mom and am frightened to be forced out of my home with noone willing to help. Before this situation, I had never missed a payment on anything...I feel helpless.

Bad because without Knowing, My Mortgage being an FHA 80/20 split was sold off to a British Firm Overseas and procedures that would be in place for American banks to assist someone like me in time of Hardship do not apply since my HSBC Bank is Owned and operated from in China with a satilite operation based in New York according to the Woonsocket Call Newspaper Firm here in Rhode Island. I was given a Denial for a Loan Modification, for 1, I did not have any Equity in Home to roll over New closing costs of 11,300. and My new Income since military retirement does not qualify me, by not making enough money per month, based on their Dept to income ratio, to reduce my Monthly Payments. I was Told that I need to find a Job making 700. more a month, then on a second call with a different person, was told that I needed to find a way to make at least 305. more a month to qualify for a loan reduction modification. Currently I am 2 months behind, soon to be 3 months as of 5 November and have tried to send HSBC A Partial payment of 1600. and then 1500. but the funds were not excepted

HSBC refused my payment...therefore forcing me into foreclosure....HSBC accellerated the procedure after receiving a change of address form and I stop receiving mail from them until it was too late....HSBC did not consider or care about the lack of communication....but rather to proceed with foreclouser.

Unfortunately we are currently in foreclosure with HSBC. The house is yet to be auctioned, but HSBC had a security company break in our house (occupied about half the week) and change the front door lock. How can this be legal? None of their "helpful" hardship programs are worth anything. They said we could get caught up by making two payments (@1600) plus 4000 in attorney's fees. I guess they will just get it back.

First they lost our mortgage. Then they put late payments on credit report while the mortgage was lost. Refuse to work with us until we allow our mortgage to go into foreclosure.

My wife & I have been doing business with Beneficial for 5 years now. I refinanced in April of 2006 to a fixed rate mortgage of 8.8% with my monthly payments being at $1642.59. This does not include escrow for property taxes or homeowners insurance. I was informed by the manager of the branch that serviced my loan that Beneficial "did not" escrow for taxes or insurance. I was current on the mortgage payments until May of 2007 when my step-daughter received a couple of traffic citations and was involved in a minor accident (not her fault) Needless to say itwith attorney fees and court/insurance costs plus proerty taxes it didn't take long to fall behind. I contacted Beneficial and advised them of my situation and requested if I could defer one (1) mortgage payment as it would give me a chace to catch up and preserve my credit. I was told that I would have to address this matter with their hardship department and apply for a "hardship" I contacted the hardship office and of course was told that since I had no decrease in income or no loss of employment that I would not qualify. Now I am still walking around showing 30 days late on my credit report with this company.

HSBC basically promised they can help us out with our mortgage refinancing and told us with our past history of always paying our mortgage on time their would be no problems in bringing our mortgage lower and affordable to our income. Well we provided all the documentation they needed and then we received a call HSBC saying they couldn't refinance us and bring our mortgage payments lower. All that hope they promised went out the door and now we're at square one.

We have been struggling with HSBC for years. They told me my first paymnet was due in September so I paid as requested. 1 year later they told me an "audit" was done on my account and I have been 30 days late since first payment was due in August!! So they marked my account with all 30 days late making it impossible to refinance. My adjustable rate mortgage kicked in and my mortgage payment went from $1360 to $2600 in 6 months. You cna't talk to them or reason with them in anyway. I ended the horror story, so I thought it was the end with a short sale. They told me that it was settled. They are still after me for the remainder. No other mortgage company does this. HSBC is the worst company.

HSBC published that we should call thime for assist if we foresaw that we would have difficulty making our monthly payment. So I did that. So far they only let me talk to People from India who also need work and are polite and seem caring, but they have no power to assist. So far I have not qualified for anything to help me. I'm ready to just walk out. I have given up on communicating with them, trying numerous times on their website and phone and by mail.

HSBC has participated in numerous unfair practices starting when I tried to refinanace my house throguh a different company. They "lost" payments causing my refi to not happen. When shown proof of these payments they did not repair the damage done. I Have tried modification with them, but they modified my payment to half of my current income. HSBC lies no one person will tell you the same thing and if one person gives you a solution you can never get back in touch with the same person to resolve the problem, and the promised resolution does not happen. I would not reccomend to anyone to get into a loan with this company.

HSBC won't negotiate a short sale when they are in second position. They said they will file a deficiency judgment for balance due. They are willing to negotiate when it comes to a short sale bottom line is you are responsible for the loan amount regardless of the market conditions and the devious mortgage lenders, they do not care.

They suck, we have tried to ask for help through them i hate I ever had to go through them and would not ever recommend the. i have called to let them know that i was going to be late on a payment and to get on payment plan they started to pull out of my account they gave me 2 chances and they stopped drafting because they were going up on my mortgage. I called and told them that I can not afford to make that high payment they did not care they justed wanted their money. i told them that i was not working it still didn't matter to them. they really need to get shut down. I've been in the house fo 2yrs and it has went up 2times every year. starting at 641 to 745 to 945 in the hood. I refuse to pay 945 for a house in a bad neighborhood.

Due to decreased income we have yoyo'd on our mortgage payments. The foreclosure process begins for us on 1/31/08. We have the home on the market but are so afraid that they will try to sue us for any deficiency since we have negative equity. I have 2 children & a now disabled husband. I don't know what I will do if they don't agree to a short sale arrangement because I don't have anything else. My wages are already low and if they tryto0 garnish me, I think I will just end my life.

You cannot sit down and talk to their mortgage people face to face. It is all via the telephone. They will not even attempt to work with you. They just turn it all over to their attorneys and let them do all the dirty work. HSBC acquired the mortgage from another lending institution in January 2007. I really believe that they want to TAKE my home because I only owe a $27,000 balance on a home valued at approx. $87,000. They are completely heartless and have no compassion or consideration for other people. I pray to God above that you will be able to help me stop this foreclosure and maybe even refinance the balance through another lender. Even if it means higher monthly mortgage payments.

by Anonymous From Tickfaw, LA on January 12, 2008

They are rude and NEVER want to work with you no matter what you try. They gave us a "deferment" of 3 months after Katrina, then came and said they wanted it all back at once. We didn't have it. They have hounded us since then and have been told several differing things depending on who I talk to. Even though it is now in foreclosure the auto dialer still calls here 7-10 times a day. I thought it was illegal for them to call ha many times a day. Very sorry the loan was sold to them or that we accepted what we thought was an offer to help after the storm. We had major damage and needed the money for repairs so we took it. Now we are messed over by them and cannot get financing anywhere! They are heartless and RUDE when you talk to them.

by Monica From Garland, TX on January 07, 2008

This is my situation and it needs to be read carefully to fully understand how things have reached this point. In December of 2006, I contacted my mortgage company Beneficial to refinance my home. At this time I owed approximately $91,000.00 dollars and was in good standing to refinance, (this is a very important point to remember). My home was valued at approximately $136,000.00 dollars. This meant that I had approximately $45,000.00 dollars in equity. I was going to use the equity money to refinance and pay my overdue taxes. I would like it to be clearly understood that I wanted Beneficial to do the refinancing so they would retain my business. When I called to inquire about the refinancing I spoke to a representative named Miriam. She told me that I should wait because Beneficial did not do escrow accounts at his time, but that they would be doing so starting in January of 2007. When I called in January to inquire about refinancing my home as per Miriam’s advice, I was told that I could not because there was an outstanding balance of over $11,000.00. When I asked what the outstanding balance was for NO ONE seemed to know why. It was not until MAY of 2007 when I decided to refinance through Bank of America that it was discovered that Beneficial had paid my taxes plus late fees plus lawyers fees between December when I initiated this venture and January when I called back to inquire about refinancing as Miriam had advised. I was also told that because of the outstanding balance I was NOT able to refinance. WAIT JUST A MINUTE HERE. I WAS ABLE TO REFINANCE WHEN I INITIATED THIS IN DECEMBER OF 2006, BUT NOW BECAUSE BENEFICIAL DID THIS WITHOUT MY CONSENT I CAN’T REFINACE? THAT IS NOT A FAIR SITUATION. Beneficial NEVER contacted me in regards to paying my taxes (that is what my refinance monies were for), they NEVER involved me in this decision. Beneficial took it upon them to pay my taxes and I was informed it was to keep me from losing my home to foreclosure. However, instead of doing things the way I had initially planed, they took that $11,000.00 dollars and divided it up over a period of 12 months and added an additional $ 1,194.57 on top of my monthly payment and this caused my payment to jump to $2,152.50 per month. I do not know of anyone living on a budget who can afford that amount of an increase. Therefore, if it was Beneficial’s intent to pay my taxes to avoid foreclosure as they have stated, Beneficial will force me into foreclosure by increasing my payments and they do not seem to understand this. When I attempted to make my payment in May of $957.93, Beneficial set it aside in “unapplied funds” because it was not the entire amount and it is still sitting there eight moths later. (if they accepted my payment at all they should have APPLIED it to my balance and not set it aside to draw interest). Being the situation as it is. Beneficial has paid the taxes and has said I owe that money. OK, then do something that will allow me to pay it back and still keep my home that I have worked so hard to keep. Here is what I propose. I would like to take that amount that Beneficial says I owe them (I am willing to pay the money) and put it on the back end of my note and this will bring me current and I can make my payments for a timely fashion in order to refinance since it is their doing that has got me here. I would like to have an escrow account so that taxes and insurance are paid. I know all major lenders do this in their workouts and if they really want to HELP me, this can be done. I have been trying to resolve this matter for over a year and have sent an enormous amount of paperwork SEVERAL TIMES to Beneficial in the form of taxes, financial worksheets, hardship letters and other information that they have requested of me to assist me. They have said they have lost my paperwork, didn’t have enough, needed this and need that, and every time this occurs it just puts me further behind. Can you see my dilemma and problem here? No one is trying to help and I am in receiving foreclosure notice from attorneys this week. If something had been done on their end instead of saying for months they needed different paperwork, I would not be in this predicament . I AM ASKING AND PLEADING PLEASE ALLOW ME TO KEEP MY HOME. Please keep in mind that when I started this in December 2006 I was not contacted by anyone asking for delinquent taxes, I was not in a foreclosure status and I was trying to do the right thing. My stance is, that if the taxes and insurance are my responsibility because I DID NOT have an escrow account with Beneficial, then Beneficial DID NOT have aright to pay my taxes without my consent and put me in this situation. I would like for Beneficial to be investigated for paying my taxes without authorization, taking money out of my bank account without my consent several times and charging me high interest insurance when I in fact had insurance at the time they charged me. If ANY laws have been violated my Beneficial and it is possible, I would like Beneficial to be audited and pay my loan off in full based on violations. I only have until February to get this resolved before they take my home once gain ANY help will be much appreciated. I also have a friend who owns “TEXAS HOMEOWNERS ASSISTANCE”, a company that handles foreclosures and works in Loss Mitigation with all major lenders. He has been trying to work with Beneficial in my behalf since November 13th, 2007 and they have been giving him the same runaround. Just to show you how they operate and waste time, here is a copy of his notes on my file. You can clearly see there is a problem here. 11-13-07 (4:00 PM) - Sent Letter of Authorization to Loss Mitigation Dept (fax # 732 352-7519) 11-14-07 (12:40 PM) – Spoke to Robin (Rep ID # 30652) who gave me a different fax # 813-571-8647 to send the Letter of Authorization. She obtained my information for her records. 11-15-07 (12:30 PM) – Spoke to Chris who stated the Letter of Authorization had not been received or the system updated. 11-16-07 (10:47 AM) – Called Customer Service and the office was closed. 11-23-07 (6:15 PM) – Faxed Letter Authorization “again” to Janette Napolean at 630-617-7529 (this is the third fax number given????). Her Line is 1-800-585-3431 11-27-07 (10:13 AM) – Spoke to Bryan who put me through to Mrs. Napolean’s voicemail. I left a message in regards to receiving the Letter of Authorization. (TWO WEEKS HAVE PASSED AND NO RESPONSE, THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS). 11-28-07 (4:33 PM) – Left second message for Mrs. Napolean in regards to receiving the Letter of Authorization. I told her this was my second attempt to Contact her. 12-06-07 (11: AM) – Finally spoke to Mrs. Napolean. She asked me to fax the Letter of Authorization a third time due to not receiving the first two. I faxed To a third different number 1-630-617-7145 and I had to ask her to Stand there to avoid any further waste of time and she received it. She stated the house was going into foreclosure on 12-18-07. She Asked me to fax a copy of Mrs. Vickery’s check stubs she would Se what we could work out. I will contact her tomorrow in regards To this. 12-14-07 (11:43 AM) – Mrs. Napolean asked me to fax a copy of Mrs. Vickery’s pay stubs “again” and a copy of her homeowners insurance to the “HARDSHIP DEPARTMENT” at 1-888-778-3811 and to call back Tuesday 12-18-07. 12-18-07 (3:18 PM) – Spoke to Stestonia and she said to fax a copy of Mrs. Vickery’s taxes, and paystubs “again” because the last stubs were hand written and unreadable. (this was ridiculous because she works for a dentist office and all checks are computerized). 12-27-07 (4:27 PM) – Spoke to Jennifer who asked me to call back to check the status of the file on Tuesday 1-1-08. Of course this is New Years day and the offices are closed. (THERE IS SOMETHING TERRIBLY WRONG GOING ON HERE WITH THIS MORTGAGE CO.). 1-3-08 (2:18 pm) – Spoke to Falonda in regards to a letter received by Mrs. Vickery that was Carbon Copied to Mark Brown regarding this matter. She asked me to type a letter stating this situation (which they have been aware of for over a year now) and send it to the Customer resolution Department at 1-888-547-8646 (fax). Since this time Mrs. Vickery has received a foreclosure notice from Beneficial. I am going to keep trying to resolve this matter. I am going to continue to try to obtain a workout for Mrs. Vickery but she needs to contact an attorney and investigate wrongdoing on Beneficial’s behalf. If there is any other information that you need from me, please feel free to contact me at 214-607-6373 regarding this matter. I truly need your help and guidance. In closing, if nothing can be resolved in 30 days I will lose my home that I worked all these years due to Beneficial’s incompetence.

We were falling behind on our payments and they stated that we needed to figure out what we were going to do and fast. We are currently refinancing with another company and I couldn't be happier. They are the rudest, nastiest, cruelest people I have ever had to deal with.

They supposedly had a program for renegotiating LIBOR ARMS, but after going through a Q&A qualification session I was told we didn't qualify and given no reason. We tried to refinance with them, got turned down. Citifinancial and HSBC are two companies I never want to do business with again. I have several credit accounts, one of which I paid off and closed. These kinds of financial institutions really need to be regulated. I appreciate free enterprise, but when business practices harm the american economy something needs to change.

by Anonymous From Shelby, NC on November 07, 2007

I have been making a double payment each month on my home loan from them. One whole payment is supposed to go toward the principle I owe. The other payment, they are supposed to take the interest out of and pay the rest toward the principle owed. Every month, they take interest out of BOTH payments, even though one payment is specifically written to go toward principle only. It is illegal to take interest out of both payments, since I am paying them a double payment EACH month. I want to get the interest paid down as fast as I can so I can pay off the loan as soon as possible. But, they continue to charge me double interest payments every month. I have called them several times and they say they will fix it. Sometimes they do, but recently I have called several times and they still have not applied the extra payment toward the principle. They try to cheat you every way they can & lie when they say they will fix it. What can I do???? Think twice before borrowing any money from these THIEVES!!

by Laura From Okeechobee, FL on November 02, 2007

As others mentioned I called and spoke with someone but I did it BEFORE I missed a payment. I was told there was nothing that could be done. Once foreclosure proceedings were begun someone else called and said, oh, yes, there were other options available. Also, since going into foreclosure the automated dialing system still calls me frequently although I have told the operator several times that the house is in foreclosure and each time I am assured my number will be removed. It is the among the worst companies I have ever dealt with, had they offered me options I would not be losing my home.

by M McMullen From Cassville, MO on October 30, 2007

When we started falling behind in payments i called and asked for options, I was told there are none, I asked than why do you send me notices to call you to work an option out and give me now options, I was told I was not intelligent, I ended up hanging up on the woman. We tried partial payments, they don't do partial payments and wont apply any portion of a partial payment to your account to make it look like you're late paying anything. We then tried a short sale, everything was submitted for negotiations, paper work taboo, they said because the address submitted on the short sale was the physical address and not the mailing address they couldn't accept the offer, we changed the address in the system we think we're good to go, they order a BPO but went ahead with the foreclosure sale instead of postponing the sale for a few weeks to consider the short sale. When a customer service rep called my house before 8am one morning I asked him why are you calling me at 8am, his reply was well you're living in the house at 8am. I agree that HSBC has very rude people working there. I wont adise anyone to go through them for a loan as they are very unhelpful and unwilling to help.

lost my husband and I am behind on payment. They are real slick, they never posted August payment they said it was short $17 and it wasn't so the say they held it until I instructed them on what to do with it. In the meantime they sent me an ACT91 and called me at work to tell me that the loss of my husband is no concern of their's but the money for the mortgage is. I have never in my life had any company collecting for any reason use the terminology that these people use. It only added salt to the wound

BE AWARE! HSBC has serious problems in mortgage schedule calculation. Every time I make more payment to pay down my principal. Every time HBC screwed up, either result in later payment, or charged interest 9 times.

by Unsatisifed Customer From Collins, IA on September 25, 2007

HSBC is the worse mortgage company my family has dealt with. We were going threw a rough patch and our mortgage fell behind. Our home was in foreclosure. We thought we were working at a plan with them, we gave them $2500 and they said that would set us back to zero. We thought we had a chance to save our home. Then the very next payment that was sent to us went from $848 to almost $1300. There was no way we could make those kind of payment. I called and asked what was going on. They said our ARM went up and that would be our new payment from now on. I told them they should of explained that to us, instead of misleading us by saying things would go back to normal. The lady from the foreclosure dept. said to me "Well, didn't you read your contract." I told her we've been trying to work with your company but all we've been told is lies. She said there was nothing they can do for us, since they we defaulted on the agreement they gave us. I said we didn't even get a chance. I even told her we are working with a mediation center to resolve this. They are the worse company. Our loan was sold to them...would stay away from this company.

Our PMI Insurance tried to work out a payment with them to get caught up. Husband has been ill and they care less. sold our home back to themselves without our knowledge or notice. Now we have a redemption period to get it back. We did have a great buyer for the home and they are aware of this and we were waiting to close. did not matter. Very difficult even to get a hold of.

I have felt that HSBC does have some unsavory action because one of the clauses in some of there loan is that the first 4 or 5 years you can't refinance.

My loan on my house was sold to HSBC. turns out the refi used a bogus appraisal, now i'm left upsidedown, and HSBC. Just says "too bad, so sad, whether you foreclose or shortsale, we'll get ALL of our money from you". If it weren't for the fact I was sold to them, I'd NEVER use them. Crooks.

They are the worst people I have ever had to deal with. They do not care about your problems, they just want their money or they take your property. It is happening to us now. They lied to us and was real nice until we signed, then they screwed us, Thanks HSBC for nothing.

This company knows and has been provided proof that we were give a fraudulent loan from them. They are foreclosing our home and told us they will bleed the money out of us. One thing you must remember is that this is a British owned company - thieves.

HSBC HAS OFFERED US THINGS IN THE PAST AND WHEN WE ATTEMPT TO COLLECT OR UTILIZE THEIR SERVICES AS STATED THEY SAY WE WERE NOT TOLD OR PROMISED ANYTHING. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE REPS CALLING FROM OTHER COUNTRIES.

HSBC IS A COMPANY THAT PRAYS ON MIDDLE CLASS BLUE COLLAR WORKS. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND WILL NOT WORK WITH YOU.

Not a helpful company. Not open to cooperation. The original problem was their fault and it has now grown to major proportions with no cooperation from their side. I do not care for their business practices. NEVER AGAIN HSBC

We have a home for sale that was over mortgaged. It is worth about 150,000 and we have had two buyers-the first moved on because HSBC took too long to review our short sale package. We have the second right now and as usual we have not heard from them HSBC is very rude to deal with. I would never rec.working with them under any circumstances. IF possible refinance with another company as soon as possible. If you ever need help ie. hardship etc. etc. they will never help you.
