William Aldinger leaves HSBC Bank for retirement, taking approximately $36 Million (USD) for three years of “work.” But as legacies go Aldinger shall forever remain famous in the field of predatory lending. His children will constantly hear the reminders of the elderly like Mr Myers. Myers, 66, was left owing a third more than his home was worth, scaring away rival lenders that might have come to the rescue. Madie Wilson, age 89, was evicted from her home. Running a pay for performance oriented predatory lending operation that was out of control, Aldinger and his employees sought blood money through lies and deception. “Even federal regulators didn’t want to take responsibility for Household Finance Corporation” said a member of the OCC in an interview with Household - HSBC Watch.

News accounts detailing how credit card data might have been stolen from Polo Ralph Lauren shoppers are overblown, said Tom Nicholson, vice president of public relations for HSBC North America. Information on 180,000 credit card shoppers might have been in jeopardy, Nicholson said. HSBC North America, which offers General Motors-branded MasterCards to consumers, notified its cardholders in February that an unnamed retailer had a credit card monitoring system in place that did not automatically purge customer account information after transactions between June 2002 and December 2004. Of the 180,000 transactions, about 127,000 were with a GM credit card. Other transactions occurred with other major credit cards, Nicholson said.
