JB in Michigan said: “I was forced by being nagged in the check out line to apply for credit card. I did not need it or want it I was told I would get 10.00 off whether i was approved or not. Then she said so easy took my DL and then said you were approved then gave me a long reciept to sign. I get the first bill I was awarded a card with a $300.00 limit which had a 59.00 per year service charge. They would not even listen to me when I called about it all they keep saying was(HSBC) was you signed mame you knew. The charge stays on. I am so upset what can I do?”

NM in Georgia said: “My mom bought furniture from Rhodes Furniture and I paid it all back in the time. I had a no interest deal. I changed my house and ask them to send the payment there. I had a $220.00 balance out of $5000 and HSBC never changed the address even though I sent the change of address by certified mail with delivery confirmation.

CAN anyone help me find their number?”
