MB in Texas said this about HSBC: “HSBC has to be one of the most ignorant banks I have ever had an account with. I never had a late payment and they reduced my credit balance twice.

An unhappy HSBC credit card holder sent this report: “Yes, I have had the same thing happen. I had a credit line of unsecured credit of over $10,000.00 “just in case”. I have been paying way more than the minimum and just signed a couple 0% offers and was planning on paying this off.
