JR in Washington said this about HSBC mortgage financing, early payoff penalties, non-disclosure, and the overall quality of HSBC home lonas; “I have to many complaints to mention! They inflated our income to do a loan! Did not tell us we would pay a 10,00 fine to refi our loan! Our interest rate is very high.”

LA in Pennsylvania said: “We have been trying to work with Beneficial to reduce our interest rate since September 2008 when they consolidated the 3 loans we had with them, including a mortgage. We also have repeatedly asked for a copy of our appraisal completed at that time.

KB in Louisianna said: “In 2/2009, we reached the two year mark which qualified us for a lower mortgage interest rate. We called to set up an appt and was told someone would call us back the next week. The next week, we found out that HSBC/Beneficial had closed its doors and was no longer making loans and would not consider lowering our rate. We have hit a hardship situation but haven’t been late on our payments….yet. Have called on three separate occasions and begged for loan modification. We have been told No! We kept up our end of the bargain by making payments on time for two years….we are entitled to a lower interest rate.”

JB in Florida said: “My husband passed away June 23rd 2008. Now the Morgage company said that they never received a check in the amount of $48,311.34. The mortgage company is HFC. I called the insurance company and they told me that they did receive the check. Now when I called HFC they said that they never received it.

We bought our house and land from the owner and had a contract. It was for $35000. We had done a lot of work to the house, but $85000 was very inflated.
