DS in Kentucky said: “In 2004 we took out a second mortgage on our property for $35,000. I recently found out that Kentucky Law requires that an appraisal be done and also verification that the Borrower is able to repay the loan to reduce predatory lending — no appraisal was performed on the home prior to the loan.

LV in New Jersey said: “My husband and I mortgaged our home through HSBC. Let me tell you - HSBC has been a nightmare since. They paid off our truck as part of the loan and now no one can find the title. When I called our branch office to let them know where it was sent,the branch office could not even call that branch to ask to have it sent back. From the beginning HSBC has done nothing but lie, cheat, and as far as I’m concerned, steal from us. Never ever use any of HSBC’s services or you too will be robbed.”
