In Shea v Household Shea received his notification and did not accept the terms imposed by Household - HSBC. Shea did not pay off his account, but refrained from using the account.
Household failed to mail bills to consumers during that period of time, covering almost ten years.
The problem for Household results from not knowing who received notices regarding changes to their account terms and conditions, and not knowing who actually received required notification about Shea v Household.
If said required notifications reached the customer but their bills did not it proves the point, which was that Household - HSBC omitted sending bills in the first place which is a violation of the Fair Credit Billing Act.
The court will accept the challenge that the acts themselves lead one to believe that consumers were not given the opportunity to opt out of the class because Household HSBC did not have a valid address to begin with. On the other hand, if Household - HSBC did have a valid address and violated the FCBA in an attempt to collect interest and late fees, they are guilty.
Household - HSBC cannot have it both ways, and once again William Aldinger created a liability for HSBC in England. Did HSBC know what Aldinger was doing? Household Watch and thousands of consumers did. Law firms did.
Were the ill gotten gains shared with HSBC North America’s merchants in the form of ongoing compensation? Did you fail to receive your change to account notification? Fail to receive your Shea v Household notification? Haven’t received a bill for a while?
Let us know. Those doing legal research, attorney’s general and regulators are constantly contacting Household - HSBC Watch for answers.
