Household HSBC Watch

Loren Steffy of the Houston Chronicle wrote an article about a man who had an HSBC credit card, overlimit fees, and a desire to fight HSBC using tactics they used on him. You can do it too, by printing an invoice and mailing it to HSBC, HSBC Finance (the old disgraced predatory lender Household International with a new name) or any other offending part of HSBC. This article is suggested reading and can be seen here. It is motivational if you have a problem with HSBC and want results.

As gasoline prices increase, energy costs rise, home heating costs spiral ever higher and the consumer is faced with new economic challenges, late fees and overlimit fees that are self-perpetuating really hurt. But if a “computer” sees the cause as $1.91 cents over one’s credit limit, real people should step in, using logic and common sense. Unfortunately, at HSBC Finance Corporation they have no reputation to protect and will always be known as predatory lender Household International said HSBC Watch consumer advocates. “As long as we exist we will not let the public forget Household International and the damage they did” said the group. Loren Steffy’s article is worth reading.
