You're browsing: Archived News » 2007 HSBC » Article Title: Carnegie vs Household queries first seen as HSBC anomaly

Our helpdesk staffers reported what we first thought was an anomaly as people have been searching for Carnegie vs Household. Staffers first noticed the query last Friday and visitors continue to read our articles about how Lynn Carnegie paid $110 to get a $500 tax refund from H&R Block and Household International. What we do not understand is why people from all over the country are searching for the material now. Queries and visitors are coming from all over the country.

To help you out we have two main references to Carnegie vs Household. Our racketeering page has our original article about Carnegie v. Household et al, a 2005 update, and the final update from 2006. Our blog article is called ‘9 day tax advance was costly’ and was published on May 11, 2005. Our blog will also show you all articles and posts related to Carnegie and Household. HSBC owned Household International for 3-1/2 years when the suit was settled. Household International was renamed to HSBC Finance. Both HSBC and H&R Block are involved with subprime lending.

Followup – The following day we received this nice email:
“Just wanted to say that I received a check in the mail yesterday and had no idea why. I did a search on the Internet and came across your site, explaining the class action suit. I found your reference to RAL users as poor and uneducated pretty funny. It’s true we were quite poor as young, married college students with children when we used H&R Block that one time, SO many years ago! I appreciate your putting the information out there for us so we know why we got this little bonus so many years later.”
