Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: NY
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
HSBC is not providing clear information about all the fees for the account.

I suggest you simply go to http : //www.us.hsbc.com and try to find yourself the fees for the Choice Checking. If you go to this product page at https : //www.us.hsbc.comXXXX, you will not find a single link to the complete fee table.

This is an absurd. It should be very visible and accessible.

I had to contact the bank to have access to this information, that should be easily available. I ended finding the link : https : //www.us.hsbc.comXXXX  However it does not clearly state how much is it a transfer to my own account in a different bank.

When I attempted to the transaction, no fee was displayed - however knowing how disorganized HSBC is, I can't trust no fee will be charged.

There is a reason why I actually no longer use this bank.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
The short version of the story is Fedloan Servicing is reporting my debt in a manner that negatively affects my credit score despite the fact that I have made my payments on time every month. It was never disclosed to me that my repayment plan was not sufficient to keep my credit in excellent standing. It was never disclosed to me that my student loans could negatively impact my credit report. 

The longer version of the story is as follows : In XXXX I was assigned FedLoan Servicing as my loan servicing company upon graduation from XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX University. At the time I graduated I had a combined balance of roughly {$110000.00} with about 20 different subsidized and unsubsidized loans. 

I decided that consolidation and income based repayment would be a good option for me, so I consolidated my loans with a 5 % interest rate with a 20-25 year forgiveness plan. The payment plan worked well for me. My payments were roughly {$100.00} a month and I have made the payments on time every month. Fast forward 3 1/2 years after graduation and I have saved up enough money to put a down payment on a home! 

Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX my boyfriend and I met with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Montana. We had our credit reports pulled to find that my student loans were negatively impacting my credit report. Fedloan  servicing was reporting the loan amount of {$110000.00} with a balance of {$120000.00}. 

I was never informed that should my balance grow beyond what was consolidated that it would report negatively. Together with the help of our Loan Officer this XX/XX/XXXX, we called Fed Loan Servicing to inform them of the reporting error. Fed Loan servicing informed us that they had only started reporting their loans this way in XXXX of XXXX. When we asked why and if we could have it reported correctly we were put on hold for 30 minutes. This tested our patience and we eventually hung up the phone.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
Citibank is constantly charging me late fees for payments that have been sent well before the due date. The last check sent was dated XX/XX/2021. The due date was XX/XX/2021. They claim they didn't receive the check until XXXX XXXX. I called them and inform them when the check was dated and advised them that this was becoming a constant practice with them unjustly enriching themselves at my expense. They refused to take the fee off stating that they have already allowed me credit for one fee. 

The problem with that explanation is that they have charge me numerous late fees for the last four or five months. I advised them that there is no need for me to continue sending payments to then when, instead of deducting from my account they are taking my payments and adding late fees, blaming the post office, telling me to send payment in earlier. Unfortunately, I can not prove that they are deliberately holding my checks for the sole purpose of profit.. 

I send all credit card payments out at the same time and all the checks are cashed within the due date.except Citibank. I don't know why they are exploiting me except for the fact that I have closed my account with them after 28 years of excellent credit. I'm at at lost of what to do since I can not continue to make payments to Citibank without being properly credited. If necessary I can dig out the statements from the previous months to support my complaint. 

Thanking you in advance for your courtesy.
