Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. (FL)

Approximately XX/XX/2021 I opened a checking account with HSBC USA. I was eligible for an account opening bonus approximately XX/XX/2021. To date the bonus has not been paid. I have made several inquires and each time I am told it is being investigated and should be resolved in four weeks. Most recently I was advised if I did not continue qualifying transactions that I would not receive the bonus. This is misleading as I should have received the bonus shortly after qualifying in XX/XX/2021. 

I have learned HSBC USA is selling some of its retail banking to XXXXXXXX XXXX. I suspect this is any attempt to delay payment of account opening bonuses until bank ownership changes.

My account with XXXX XXXX  XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 



XXXX XXXX  XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 
I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.

I have items passed on that should be taken out or removed. Per FCRA segment 605, Credit Bureaus are expected to eliminate any records recorded on an ID THEFT REPORT. I've proactively remembered this report from a past letter and I am including it once more. I've educated my lawyer regarding my aims and they are eager to consider that Credit Bureaus are responsible for their tenacious rebelliousness.

Everything has been disputed until I just received a notification ( XX/XX/year> ) that a new account with a phone services had went into collections. I personally do not have an account with XXXX and I am confused as to why I was not notified of a fruadulant account before hitting collections. XXXX has my SSN number locked since late last year, so I do not know how this is happening. I am so frustrated and tired of this, as I felt Ive done everything I can ( even followed XXXX checklist when filing a report with them ). I just got married last year and I still haven't changed my last name due to the IRS investigations and ongoing fraud alerts I have set. I am lost and I don't know what I need to do. Was my SSN or personal information sold?

My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. My date of birth is XX/XX/year>, and my Social Security Number is XXXX. Upon reviewing my EQUIFAX credit report, I discovered several inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts. There are fraudulent accounts on my report, included in my credit reports I did not open the account and was not informed about it beforehand, indicating it was established without my consent. I have already taken steps to address these issues by contacting EQUIFAX directly. I submitted a dispute and provided supporting documentation, such as drivers license, ssn card, proof of address and FTC report. Despite these efforts, the inaccuracies and fraudulent accounts have not been removed from my credit report, significantly impacting my creditworthiness and financial stability. I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to ensure that these inaccurate and fraudulent accounts are promptly removed from my EQUIFAX credit report. Additionally, I seek written confirmation from EQUIFAX once these accounts have been corrected. I also ask the CFPB to investigate EQUIFAX handling of my dispute and its adherence to FCRA and CFPB rules.

Entities Involved - XXXX XXXX, Zelle, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX  XXXX XXXX I use XXXX XXXX  for my banking needs. I hold a checking and a savings account with them. They have an affiliated service -Zelle XXXX for money transfers that uses phone numbers or emails as identifiers to send money. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment of {$1700.00} to an individual known to me by using her email which is linked to her Zelle Account. I was told by the individual that she has not received my payment. On receiving this news, I called XXXX XXXX  's customer care number and visited their branch in XXXX XXXX to seek help. They registered a claim on XX/XX/XXXX. They responded on XX/XX/XXXX, that the money was received by the individual - the intended recipient of the money on the account linked with her email address on Zelle. I again went back to the individual stating that the bank has completed an investigation and that they are claiming that the money is with you. The individual responded by providing me an email copy from her bank- XXXX XXXX - that no such money has been received in her account linked with Zelle with them. I went back to XXXX to reopen the claim on the basis of this document. They came back saying that the money was received by the intended recipient in the bank account linked with the email and her Zelle account. On my repeated queries with the bank to figure out the whereabouts of my money, one of the customer care executives/investigation team members suggested that I request the intended recipient for her bank statement for the month. I complied and requested the bank statement from the intended recipient. The individual was not comfortable with sharing the banking statements but assured me that she will check with her bankers again. She wrote back by email saying that she went to both her bankers ( XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX  XXXX XXXX ) where she has different Zelle accounts. She categorically wrote in the email that both banks denied receiving any such amount. On JXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, I requested XXXX XXXX  and Zelle separately to provide me with the details of the bank account where they believe the money is deposited. They have not provided this information citing privacy concerns and are not paying heed to the fact that the intended recipient checked with both banks about the money and came with the same reply that the money was not received in her accounts. In the end, I don't know where my money is sitting and the information about this is sitting with XXXX and Zelle.
