RC in Virginia said: “HSBC CEO Brendan McDonagh has changed his phone number.

I could understand the situation if someone owed them money or had an account with them. But I don’t. I have never, ever done any business with HSBC or any of it’s affiliates. I looked on the internet and found the number to Brendan McDonagh, CEO of HSBC. Apparently, the number has been changed and there is no answer.

RS in Faridabad, Haryana said: “I am from Faridabad, Haryana. Since almost five months I have been receiving calls on my residence phone no enquiring about Mr Ashok Gupta. When counter enquired- reply comes this is HSBC Bank, Mumbai. I and my family members are tired of these calls by explaining every time that it is not Mr Gupta’s phone no. After explaining for such a long time to so many people that this is neither Mr Gupta’s residence nor office no., still phone calls enquiring Mr. Gupta is not stopped. We are sick of these phone calls & felt harassed like any thing. I don’t understand why such a big and famous bank like HSBC is unable to trace a simple telephone no. Identifying a caller or phone holder is only five minutes job, still HSBC is adopting such an age old technique to find-out the cheater which is resulting in unusual harassment to an innocent citizen of the country.”

ME in Kentucky said: “I applied and was approved for the Best Buy credit card provided by HSBC. While applying for the card I was told that I could walk into the store to make payments. When my first payment was due I drove to the store looked around and then tried to make my payment. The girl at the counter then informed me that the account had to be paid online. Hmmmm…. guess not to bad of a problem? WRONG! Begin the predatory fees!!!! Because I was trying to pay my payment on the due date, they said I had to make a “rush payment”. The fee for that service $15. I immediately called the HSBC and they said sorry new customer, but pay the fee. Don’t pay the fee and you get slammed with a $19 late fee.
