Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
To whom it may concern : On Friday, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a text message from an acquaintance of mine, jokingly asking if I would be sharing with him a recently issued {$350.00} new-account bonus. I was both surprised and angered that he somehow managed to get this information. Upon asking him how he learned that I recently received such a bonus, he replied that an employee of HSBC Bank in XXXX XXXX disclosed this information to him. 

I immediately called the branch and spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX banker who allegedly disclosed my account information to a third party without my consent, verbal or written ). I have an individual checking account with HSBC and never had anyone else on the account. Nor was I ever asked or granted permission to share my account information with anyone other than myself. 

XXXX XXXX immediately admitted to making a mistake in sharing my account information with a third party, and apologized for doing so. I was so angry that I hung up on him. I collected myself and called him again. This time he was away from his desk, but another employee promised to have him call me back, which he did promptly. 

During our second conversation, I apologized to XXXX for hanging up on him, however I made it very clear that I was extremely upset that he - or any other HSBC employee - would ever disclose private banking information to anyone unauthorized to have such information. 

Again, XXXX apologized and admitted to his mistake. His apology seemed sincere, and my prior interactions with XXXX XXXX all via telephone ) were always very pleasant. XXXX was the only employee at the XXXX XXXX branch of HSBC who always seemed genuine. He was easy to communicate with, he was prompt in his replies, he was courteous and respectful. He was the last person whom I would ever imagine doing something like this. 

I truly believe that XXXX is genuinely sorry for disclosing my information. I know he regrets doing it. In the end, him sharing this particular bit of my personal account information with my acquaintance did no physical or financial harm to me. Yet, I feel betrayed and violated, and I hope that this does not happen to another customer, with potentially much more serious consequences. 

My hope is that HSBC takes this incident as a learning opportunity for itself and its employees. I hope that some educational material is distributed to its employees for review and acknowledgement. I hope that XXXX does not get severely disciplined for his actions and is given a chance to continue to work for HSBC. I wish him the best, but I also want to ensure that other customers ' privacy is protected moving forward. 

PS - I am not sure if branch phone calls are recorded or not, but I will gladly provide the exact times of when these phone calls took place.

Company: GENERATION MORTGAGE COMPANY
State: OK
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Reverse mortgage
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I signed papers for a Reverse Mortgage with Generation Mortgage Company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX. I had been working with their representative via phone and email on this loan for more than XXXX months. She was very helpful and knowledgeable, yet when the closing representative came to my home, he brought incorrect documents for the wrong type of Reverse Mortgage. There were XXXX pages in the paperwork and I inadvertently signed the wrong type of loan. I trusted that Generation Mortgage filled out the right paperwork and I trusted that I should sign where their closing representative told me to sign. 

Only a few days prior to this I received an email ( which I still have on my computer, showing the representative 's information AND the Generation Mortgage logo and information ) from the Generation Mortgage loan processor listing exactly what dollar amounts I would receive at closing, what that first disbursement would pay off and how much I would be left with AND exactly how much ( plus growth ) I would receive on day 366. When I spoke with a supervisor at Generation Mortgage the end of XX/XX/XXXX, she said that the processor no longer works for them and " unfortunately '' I signed the wrong type of loan ( the difference is in a fixed rate or a flexible rate loan ). She said the word " unfortunate '' so many times that I finally told her " this is WAY more than " unfortunate '' to me! 

I was never told there were XXXX types of Reverse Mortgage loans and I certainly would not have signed the documents had I been told that if I did sign I would be " forfeiting '' the XXXX half of my money on day 366! 

I am a widow. I lost my husband of XXXX years four years ago to XXXX XXXX. I was greatly depending upon this money I was to receive on day 366. My husband and I spent all of our money trying to save his life. This Reverse Mortgage money was supposed to sustain my retirement. I should have received nearly {$30000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I am in dire financial straits, thanks to what I consider to be " bait and switch '' tactics used by Generation Mortgage. 

In my opinion, Generation Mortgage needs to simply re-do my loan papers, changing them to the type of loan I was led to believe that I was getting at the time. They need to do this immediately and disburse the XXXX half of my money to me right away. I have forwarded the emails from their representative to the supervisor I spoke with and she said, " I see where your confusion is coming from. '' I am NOT confused and I think the emails are very clear. They simply " checked '' the wrong boxes on the paperwork giving me the wrong type of loan.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
I purchased a XXXX through a XXXX dealer and financed it through Hyundai Motor Finance ( HMF ). I set up autopay to HMF from my checking account. The loan was paid off in XXXX of 2015. HMF debited my account more than was due for the final payment. Then HMF continued to debit my account each month after the loan was paid off ( and after I had received the pink slip from the California DMV ). I called HMF on XXXX XXXX to revoke autopay and to get my money back. Autopay should have been automatically stopped when the loan was paid. I repeatedly asked HMF why this did n't happen but no one would answer the question. HMF insisted that the only way to return the funds was via paper check after XXXX business days. They did not revoke autopay and debited my account again in XXXX. How is this legal? If you pay off a mortgage the bank does n't keep taking payments. Why is this different? I should be compensated for the loss of use of the funds illegally debited from my account.
